TEACHING DOSSIER (SUPPORTING MATERIALS)

  • Teaching Philosophy (Extended)

    This document includes my detailed teaching philosophy and applications of this philosophy to my teaching practice.

  • Course Development

    This document provides detailed descriptions of courses I have developed at Indiana University Northwest or existing courses that I have significantly redesigned with high-impact pedagogical practices.

  • Pedagogical Development & Mentoring

    This document includes descriptions of professional development activities aimed at improving my teaching technique and practice and my mentoring activities at IUN.

  • Example Syllabi

    This document includes examples of syllabi from the courses I typically teach.

  • Example Course Assignments & Assessments

    This document contains representative examples of assignments from courses of different levels (e.g., non-majors, majors).

  • COVID Adaptations and Innovations

    This document describes changes to teaching modalities made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these adaptations were well-received by students and enhanced the content of my courses once we returned to traditional in-person teaching.

  • Educational Grants (Project Summaries)

    This document contains the project summaries for pedagogical innovation grants for which I am a PI or co-PI.

  • Self-Evaluation & Response to Student Comments

    As part of my third-year review, I extracted all negative or critically constructive comments from all of my student reviews. I assessed how I had adapted my courses in light of those responses (when reasonable). This document provides the details of that assessment.

  • Peer Reviews

    This document contains letters of support and evaluation of my teaching from two STEM and one non-STEM professor at my university. Their reviews include assessments of my teaching style and interaction with students as well as larger contributions to the campus.

  • Representative Student Evaluations

    This document contains an example of our student evaluations for each of the classes that I teach. I have selected reviews that cover the majority of my years teaching at IUN for perspective. The question set and appearance of evaluations has changed multiple times over the past 5 years, so I have included at least one example from each style of evaluation as well.
