Lecturing Experience at Texas A&M
I was the lecturer for
classes of between 20 and 100 people that met two to three times per week. I
was responsible for exam creation and managed a grader or teaching
assistant. For class time, I lead very interactive lectures -- I
expected (and received) high levels of class participation. I had
students try examples during class time.
Lecturing Experience at Cornell
I was the lecturer
for classes of 20-30 people that met three to four times per week. I
served on exam creation committees and managed a homework grader. For
class time, I lead very interactive lectures -- I expected (and
received) high levels of class participation. I had students try
examples during class time.

Non-Majors, (three semesters) I
used examples from
the Good
Questions Project as well as MapleTA.
- 112: Calculus 2 for
Non-Majors (one semester)
- 105: Finite Math (one
semester)
Grading Experience at Cornell
As a grader, I graded homework and exams, held office hours, and
answered e-mailed questions for classes of 20-30 people.

Teaching Assistant Experience
As a teaching
assistant, I was responsible for leading recitation sessions once or
twice per week for classes of 20-30 with summaries of lecture
material, practice problems, and occasional quizzes. I also held
office hours, answered e-mailed questions, collected and graded
homework, and (in many cases) graded exams.
