Curriculum Development

Semester Course Details
Spring 2018 College Algebra (MTH103) Created content, assessments for the course (using backwards design) when it was redeveloped as a standards-based grading course at MSU
Fall 2017 Transitions to Proofs (MTH299) Created and reorganized content and assessments for the course for an additional teaching assignment.
Summer 2017 College Algebra (MTH103) Created online videos to serve as similar solved examples to WebWork problems.
