In 2016, I won the J. Burton Linker award and cash prize for excellence in teaching.

Below is a list of classes I’ve taught at UNC Chapel Hill. In all classes listed, I was the instructor of record (i.e. NOT an assistant). In classes at the level of Calculus II and above, I designed the syllabus, assignments, and assessments. I even had some freedom in choosing the curriculum.

 

Fall 2012 – Math 232: Calculus of Functions of One Variable II

Spring 2013 – Math 232: Calculus of Functions of One Variable II

Fall 2013 – Math 119: Introduction to Mathematical Modeling

Spring 2014 – Math 231: Calculus of Functions of One Variable I

Fall 2014 – Math 232: Calculus of Functions of One Variable II

Fall 2014 – Math 130: Precalculus Mathematics

Spring 2015 – Math 232: Calculus of Functions of One Variable II

Summer 2015 – Math 381: Discrete Mathematics

Summer 2015 – Graduate Geometry/Topology Comprehensive Exam Review (official, department-sponsored)

Fall 2015 – Math 233: Multivariable Calculus

 

These classes were conducted successfully and to most students’ satisfaction, as reflected in the course evaluations below.

In my current style of teaching, I deliver lectures on an iPad Pro. The way it works is: I post a typed outline of my lecture notes to the shared online space before class starts. Students bring a copy (physical or digital) to class with them. We discuss and fill in the outline in class, with me writing directly on the iPad as it is projected onto a screen behind me. Students have told me they prefer this method to ordinary chalk lectures. I prefer it also. As a sample, below is a lecture I gave on limits in a Calculus I class.

Here is another from a lecture I gave concluding related rates and beginning a discussion on extreme values.
