IX. TeachingTeaching Statement

My teaching approach is two-pronged: (i) to impart knowledge that provides students with a formal academicbackground in the subject matter; and (ii) to provide students with real world practical topics that they can useoutside of ivory towers and relevant to one’s everyday life. I attempt to teach students how to filter informationand how to effectively judge the reliability of that information. They learn to be critical in their evaluation ofnew material and are able to assimilate this information into their comprehensive body of knowledge. Graduatestudents, especially, are challenged to think of new ideas and ways to advance the field. I attempt to get students

Undergraduate Mentorshipa) Research for Undergraduates in Math and Science Program (RUMS)I co-directed the intensive undergraduate research program known as Research for Undergraduates in Math andSciences at Old Dominion University between 2012 and 2015. This 2-year program takes sophomores and juniorsand allows them to work alongside faculty and graduate students as “graduate student apprenticeships” – thisopportunity provides them with critical training in field / lab methodologies, data collection, data analysis, writinggrants, conference presentations, and publishing manuscripts. The students work more as technicians in the firstyear and then develop an independent project in the second year with the expectation that the results will bepresented at conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals. The program has been highly successful in thatstudents have presented at more than 15 local, regional, national, and international meetings. At least threestudents have published papers in peer-reviewed journals. Four students have gone on to postgraduate work aftergraduating and two students have won the Provost Undergraduate Research Award.Related FundingWalters, E.
