Teaching
I have taught at UNSW since 2012 across economics, business, econometrics and data science. My experience includes roles as Lecturer-in-Charge, lecturer, tutor, course developer and course monitor, with face-to-face, online and blended delivery for large, multidisciplinary cohorts.
Since 2018, my regular undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and coordination portfolio has included:
ECON3107 / ECON5106 — Economics of Finance
ECON3208 — Applied Econometrics
COMM5005 — Quantitative Methods for Business
ECON5103 — Business Economics
COMM1150 — Global Business Environment
ECON5102 — Macroeconomics
DATA1001 — Introduction to Data Science and Decisions
DATA3001 — Data Science and Decisions in Practice
Earlier and additional teaching includes ECON2102 Macroeconomics II, ECON5130 Financial Systems and the Economy, ZZBU6501 Introductory Data Analysis, ZZSC9001 Foundation of Data Analysis, Macroeconomics I and II, Markets and Equilibrium, and Superannuation and Retirement Benefits.
I have redeveloped assessments across my regular teaching portfolio, including completely new assessment designs for ECON3107/5106, ECON5102 and ECON3208.
I have also served as a course monitor for the UNSW Business School’s online Summer School courses, liaising with Lecturers-in-Charge and reporting course performance to the Deputy Head of School.
“He treats students as equals, not subordinates.”
“There's no trace of a superior tone; instead, he use simple, life - related examples to explain complex concepts, making learning easy and enjoyable.”
“This person has had a profound impact on me. Once, I was struggling with a tough theoretical concept. Instead of just giving a standard explanation, he sat down and used a story from daily life to break it down. This not only helped me understand but also changed my self - image. I used to think I was not good at grasping complex theories, but his patient and innovative teaching made me realize that with the right approach, I could succeed. It also influenced my career aspirations—I now hope to be someone who can inspire others like they do, and broadened my worldview to see the power of empathetic and equal communication in education.”
“After a decade-long break from study and balancing the load with full-time work, Edward filled me with confidence in my own abilities and made me feel empowered to help others in the course.”
