TEACHING STATEMENT
Within the classroom, I incorporate principles of universal design. I provide homework videos to facilitate understanding difficult concepts, which is critical for student success in complicated subjects like statistics.
Practice, practice, practice! The key to improving at any skill is practice. Getting students to engage in difficult material and focus more on learning course content than grades earned. It is important to develop students’ critical thinking abilities. With developed critical thinking skills, students can more accurately evaluate statistics and information encountered within various media platforms, and ultimately adapt to the problems that they encounter in their everyday lives.
