Courses Taught

Assistant Professor, Mathematics, Computer Science and Information Technology

  • Full-time teaching responsibility for the following courses (at NCC since 2013):

    • MAT 001: College Preparatory Mathematics

    • MAT 002: Introductory Algebra

    • MAT 012: Quantitative Reasoning 1

    • MAT 013: Integrated Arithmetic and Quantitative Reasoning I

    • MAT 111: Pre-Calculus

    • MAT 114: Foundations of Mathematics for Educators

    • MAT 123: Calculus II

  • Teaching philosophy focuses on incorporating technology in meaningful and engaging ways to help students visualize complex and abstract concepts; proper use enables faculty to move spotlight to content for greater quantitative reasoning

  • In addition to upholding high standards with respect to the content knowledge required to be successful in multi-course sequences, a focus on collaboration and the learning process through informal and low-stakes assessments helps level the playing field for underprepared students and build confidence in their abilities.

  • With focused work and a well structured academic environment, all students can master math if given the opportunity
