Teaching

Now in my second year at Colorado College, I will be teaching both Applied Linear Algebra and Calculus 1 in the Fall and History of Mathematics in the Spring. Classes at CC run on blocks, 3 1/2 weeks dedicated to one course. In my classes, students are expected to engage in an active learning environment. Just as important as the topics in a course, my classes emphasize healthy and positive collaboration among students and I prioritize providing an environment wherein one feels safe, valued and welcomed. 

I will be adopting Prof. Federico Ardila-Mantilla's Axioms:

• Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.

• Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.

• Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.

• Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
