Teaching experience (UVA)

Below are the classes for which I have been the primary instructor:

  • Calculus I (Spring 2012, Fall 2012)
  • Calculus II (Fall 2010, Spring 2011)
  • Applied Calculus I (Fall 2008, Fall 2009)
  • Applied Calculus II (Spring 2009, Spring 2010)

I have been the TA for three classes:

  • Calculus I (Spring 2008)
  • Calculus II (Fall 2007, 2 sections)

I am also a participant in the Tomorrow's Professor Today program.
