I have been a member of the Mathematics and Statistics Learning Center administrative staff since 2007.
As an administrative staff member in the MSLC, I create online materials for the OSU Calculus courses. I assist with the administration of student tutoring and other outreach and support services for students from developmental math through calculus. I work closely with other administrators and coordinators in the department to provide calculus instruction for 4000-6000 students each semester. I design, pilot, and evaluate new instructional methods for blended, hybrid, and online courses, and mentor teaching assistants and post-docs who are teaching the pilot courses. I administer the department’s online, for-credit math courses.
