Pedagogy

I was assigned my first class in the fall of 1993 - Precalulcus at Miami University as a TA. I have been teaching ever since, including a year in high school. I am passionate about teaching and student learning. I am particularly interested in the recent advances in cognitive psychology that gives us a better understanding of how the brain learns and social psychologists work on classroom dynamics and belongingness. I have conducted several SOTL (Scholarship of Teaching and Learning) projects noted below. I am an active practitioner of the flipped classroom. In 2004 I started using the Thinkwell series for calculus by Ed Burger well before the term flipped classroom was coined. In my more advanced classes, I use reading notes, a practice described in the MAA Notes article below.
