Overview
I have been fortunate to learn from of variety of teaching experiences during my time at UVa. Some of these experiences include giving area workshops, serving as a teaching assistant for both graduate and undergraduate courses, co-instructing adult education courses, and serving as instructor of a middle school research methods and statistics summer course. Below are examples of some of the materials I created for these courses. For a full list of courses and workshops with descriptions, please see the Teaching and University Presentations sections of my CV.
You are welcome to use any of the materials below. If you do so, please give appropriate credit. Feel free to contact me about using any of these materials - I am always looking to improve lectures and would be interested in any feedback you could provide.
Area Workshops
In Spring of 2011, I gave a workshop on Logistic Regression as part of the Developmental Psychology Lunch Series. For a pdf of the workshop slides, click here.
In 2009, I gave an Introduction to R (a statistical program) as part of the weekly Design and Data Analysis (DADA: Quantitative Lunch) Series. The workshop has also been used in the Schmidt Lab and in the 2011 Quantitative Methods-I course. To download the zipped folder of workshop materials, click here. The folder contains:
- An R script containing an introduction to R (Rworkshop.R)
- A .csv file of fake data (ExampleData.csv)
- A tab-delimited file of fake data (ExampleData.dat)
- Three .txt files of fake data (ExampleData1.txt, ExampleData2.txt, ExampleData3.txt)
Quantitative Methods I & II
During the 2009-2010 academic year, I served as one of two TAs for Quantitative Methods I & II, the introductory graduate statistics sequence that all psychology grad students must complete.
In Quantitative Methods-I, I gave an in-class lecture on Chi-Square Analysis. Slides for the lecture can be found here.
During Quantitative Methods-II, I created and led weekly lab meetings, alternating with another TA. Labs were conducted using the statistical program R. To download the lab on Mixed Effects Models, including R exercises such as creating a data set, click here.
