Classes I've Taught or TAed
- WRT 105: Translation as a Window into the Mind
I was awarded a Breadth Fellowship through the College Writing Program to develop and teach a themed freshman writing course. The course I developed uses the problem of translation as a launching pad for exploring questions about language, the mind, and AI through writing and research. Our readings are drawn from philosophy, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, current news, and even science fiction. I taught one section of this course in the Fall, and am teaching another section this Spring. Enrollment: ~15 students/semester.
- BCS 172: Development of Mind and Brain
I taught a 6-week long discussion-oriented version of our Development of Mind and Brain course during the Summer session in both 2010 and 2011. Enrollment: ~6 students
- BCS 172: Development of Mind and Brain
Prior to teaching BCS 172, I TAed it for two semesters. Enrollment: ~100-140 students/semester
- BCS 111: Foundations of Cognitive Science
- Co-Instructor (with Kristen Skovbroten Gorman)
I taught the second half of this introductory course, focusing on higher-level cognition: Concepts, Language, Judgment, Reasoning, and Theory of Mind. Enrollment: ~100 students
I was the TA for our undergraduate statistics lab. I helped teach students how to use SPSS for data analysis, assisted students in developing research projects, and supervised 2 weekly lab sessions. Enrollment: ~90 students
