I have assembled a dossier that documents my teaching methods and their effectiveness. Several appendices follow below:
• Selected Course Materials
The syllabus for this class as well as more detailed guidelines for the first assignment illustrate my methods of course construction, in particular my philosophy of openness about goals and expectations. Also included, my rubrics for assessing midterm and final projects convey their component requirements to students while making grading maximally fair and transparent.
• Materials for Teaching Writing
An overview of composition resources that I developed as a Teaching Assistant, demonstrating my commitment and approach to cultivating writing skills.
Additional online resources of interest include videos of my lectures and reading lists for my comprehensive exams.
I would be delighted to provide any of the remaining records upon request:
• Letter of Reference
Assistant Professor Bob Rehak has graciously provided an evaluation of my guest teaching at Swarthmore College in March 2008, comprising a presentation for his class "Fan Cultures" and a public campus lecture.
• Student Evaluations
As evidence of the success of my pedagogy, I offer a selection of feedback from my Teaching Assistantships and full evaluation responses from my Teaching Fellowship.
• Selected syllabi from Teaching Assistantships
- Introduction to Modern Culture and Media
- Introduction to Digital Media
- Television Studies
• Documentation of Sheridan Center Certificate I program
- Individual Teaching Consultation evaluation
- Teaching Certificate
• Samples of student work with comments and assessment
