I created all materials (lectures, problem sets, and exams) from scratch with the intention of redefining the manner in which students are introduced to economics. I believe that all students have the innate ability to benefit from economic thinking in everyday life regardless of their major.

2024 Syllabus

2022 Syllabus

EC201: Intermediate Microeconomic Theory (Boston University)

Semester: Summer Session 2 in 2023

I created all materials (lectures, problem sets, and exams) from scratch, deconstructing the course into three sections: consumer theory, producer theory, and market equilibrium. I emphasize the importance of abstract thinking and generalization, and students are introduced to the use of calculus and basic proof techniques in economics.

2023 Syllabus

Summer Challenge Economics Seminar (Bostion University: Advanced High School Program)

Semester: Summer Session 2 in 2024

I created an immersive 2-week course focused on teaching basic principles of microeconomics in an accessible and hands-on manner. Students engaged in daily in-class games that illustrated the concepts of comparative advantage, zero economic profits, the power of monopolies, and collusion.
