I have taught in both online and traditional, face-to-face formats. Online, my courses take a team-based approach that facilitates group interactions that students often miss in online class formats. Solving problems in small groups allows students to see the ways in which social psychological phenomena appear in their own teams: for example, did students with higher status characteristics (e.g., more senior students) have the most influence in each group? Assignments focus on applying formal theories to problems that students encounter in their daily lives in order to make abstract theoretical concepts more concrete.
Face-to-face, I have led sociological research methods labs, as well as prepped and taught introductory-level psychology labs. My labs focused on developing students' writing skills and making connections to topics in other disciplines. As a general education course, taking a multidisciplinary approach encouraged students to see the use of psychology research regardless of what fields they pursued.
I have also served as a teaching assistant for psychology and sociology courses ranging in enrollment from 5-160 students, including education abroad courses.
