Teaching Experience
I am a proud recipient of the Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Teaching Award at UC Berkeley. My teaching philosophy is to challenge my students intellectually. I believe every student is gifted in unique way and there is no single approach to learning. My role as an instructor is to assist them to explore and develop their own path.
I am prepared to teach classes on
I am particularly interested in teaching research methodology and applied statistics at undergraduate level. I have come across many students who believe statistics is too hard for them and/or research methodology is too abstract for them. I believe in the saying ‘if there is a will, there is a way’ --- no materials would be too difficult to master. Over the years, I have developed numerous interactive class materials, in-class examples and take-home exercises to facilitate learning. My students’ progresses are my biggest satisfaction.
