My philosophy of education is anchored in the belief that each student is unique in their needs, strengths, abilities, and pace. Four critical concepts underlie this philosophy: 1) that an instructor should remain available to all students at all times during a course; 2) that course materials should remain adaptable to student ability while remaining challenging, maintaining the curriculum, and promoting effective learning; 3) that open and direct lines of communication between an instructor and each student should exist and be reinforced by the instructor; and 4) that an instructor should continuously collect and integrate feedback to improve both current and future course design.
To this end, I teach students not only to test retention, but rather to support students continuously and adaptively as they learn; I apply my teaching philosophy by assisting students through difficult projects and providing individualized support; and I educate with a student focus and dedication to remain an available and educated resource to those whom I instruct.
I currently teach courses centered around statistical analyses at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
