• Received an outstanding, very good or good rating as an instructor from 86% of student respondents during end of semester course/instructor evaluations. (Forms available)
• Prepared lecture materials to provide clear explanations of complex concepts and to best utilize meeting times. Engaged in classroom interactions to improve knowledge and material retention, problem solving, and critical thinking skills. Held office hours and study groups outside classroom meetings to provide additional support and guidance to students.
• Wrote examination questions and explanatory answer keys to evaluate students' level of knowledge and retention of material presented in lecture, recitation and homework assignments.
