STAT 115B: Introduction to Mathematical Statistics

 

Reflection on Course Improvements:

Three most significant/ surprising things I learned by participating in this workshop are: 1) How making minor/small changes in the course can significantly improve learner's experience, 2) How to organize the course into effective modules, 3) How to make the course content accessible. 

I think out of all the improvements I plan to make the most impactful is the one to organize my course into weekly modules (composed of four components: Module Overview, Module Assignments, Module Lectures, and Module Wrap-up). This will help students navigate easily through the course. Moreover students will be clear on what is expected from them each week and how/where to easily locate information.    

Furthermore, I plan on trying new grading criterions such as "Mastery Based Grading", "Contract Grading", to promote accessibility and equity.

Faculty Biography

 

   

I am an Assistant Professor in the department of Mathematics and Statistics. I joined Sac State in Fall 2019. Before joining Sac State I worked in Texas form 2015-2019. 

I graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 2009 with an M.S. in Math. While working on my Masters I discovered my fantasy for different kinds of data, which eventually led to my interest in the field of Statistics and making me earn a Ph.D. in Statistics from Auburn University in 2015. My experience in the doctoral program helped me discover my interest in teaching and research. Consulting is another perk that I enjoy for being a Statistician.

In my free time I love to cook, paint, watch movies, socialize, spend time with my nephews and nieces, fly planes, sailboats and ride horses.
