Teaching

My primary responsibilities at the Institute of Cognitive Science are related to teaching and learning. I am interested in integrating research into undergraduate curriculum and creating engaging learning environments. I usually teach one section of the First-year Seminar in Cognitive Science (FYSM 1607), Theories and Methods in Cognitive Science (CGSC 2002) and supervise honors projects (CGSC 4909).

My other roles in the department:

• Co-op faculty advisor
• Experiential learning coordinator
• Co-curricular record coordinator
