Teaching Experience

At Athabasca University my role as an instructor is referred to as a "tutor" whereby I am assigned specific students who complete their coursework in a self-paced manner. I am available for assistance when they require it and I grade their assignments, quizzes, and exams. I also coordinate, or manage, the courses that I tutor which involves duties such as supervising other tutors and responding to general student inquiries and concerns. I currently tutor and coordinate Learning and Instruction (EDPY310/PSYC310), Introduction to Computer-based Instruction (EDPY479) and Educational Psychology (EDPY200). I designed Learning and Instruction but not the other courses. I did develop the item test bank for EDPY200 and I make small revisions to all courses as necessary. When these courses need revision I will undertake that as part of my coordinator repsonsibilties. Undergraduate courses at Athabasca University use continuous enrolment meaning that new students join courses the beginning of each month and have six months to complete them. As such, I indicate in the list below both the students that I am currently tutoring and my students who completed the course.

As a graduate student at McGill University I worked as a teaching assistant (5 times for 2 courses) and sessional lecturer (11 times for 3 courses) in traditonal face-to-face courses. As a sessional lecturer, I taught an undergraduate educational psychology course and a graduate course in introductory statistical analysis often with the help of a teaching assistant. I also coordinated a graduate course entitled Learning Science Research Seminar which featured presentations by faculty members from the department of Educational Psychology; I graded the students' papers and assignments. For these courses I simply list the class size.

A comprehensive record of my post-secondary teaching is provided below.
