Teaching
I enjoy teaching and making connections with students. In my classes, I often try to employ a variety of learning techniques, including hands-on learning, supplemental activities and videos, and multiple modes of assessment. Student feedback is very important to me, so I ask students to provide optional feedback throughout the semester to ensure student needs are being met by me and the course materials.
Classes TA'd
University of Tennessee
PSYC 295
Intro to Research Methods
2021
I TA'd for this class during the spring 2021 semester. I had two sections with 50 per section. I aided the instructor with grading and proctoring tests. This class is the lecture counterpart to PSYC 294 that I taught during academic year 2021-2022.
PSYC 310
Thinking and Learning
2020-2021
I TA'd for this class for the entire academic year 2020-2021. There were two sections with around 100 students each. I was the primary grader, though I occasionally had help from the instructor and a few undergraduate teaching fellows. In the spring 2021 semester I guest lectured on animal training.
Mentorship
I have mentored nine undergraduate students and high school students in research methods. I have also informally mentored PhD students in earlier stages of their career.
