EFFECTIVE TEACHING:
I personally have introduced three new courses to the mathematics curriculum: MATH 4973 - Math Modeling, Math 4973 – Advanced Topics in Linear Algebra, and MATH 4971 - Putnam Problems Practice. All three of these courses are geared towards Mathematics majors and tie in all of the concepts learned from lower level courses in an attempt to apply them to more complex and challenging problems.
In the spring of 2009, for my MATH 4133 - Linear Algebra course, I used a book that I co-wrote with a colleague from Eastern Michigan University. This book utilizes a computer algebra system called Maple. Maple is one of the most sophisticated computer algebra systems available, and is used throughout the world in academic, industrial and many other settings. The approach we take in this book is vastly different from the standard approach to linear algebra. In the Fall of 2011, my co-author and I released a second text on linear algebra, and the new text is currently being used in the course offered through our department.
In the summer of 2010, I went through the online certification process, and am now certified by the criteria set up by the Online Learning Commission (OLC) to teach online courses. Furthermore, in Fall 2012, I completed the “Applying the QM Rubric” course provided by the Quality Matters Program. In the Summer of 2013, I became a certified Quality Matters Peer Reviewer after completing their peer reviewer course.
In the Fall of 2011, Mike Morris (CIS Department) and I developed a parallel programming course which we co-taught in the Spring 2012 semester, the course is listed as CIS4973/5973 SS: Parallel Programming. Due to the popularity of the first semester CIS4973/5973: Parallel Programming course, we taught a follow up course, CIS4973/5973: CUDA Parallel Programming which had even more students in it than the first course. Mike Morris and I offered yet another course in the Spring semester of 2013 which allowed students to get involved in research level mathematics and programming. We were able to document and publish this experience. In the Fall of 2014, we are having students build a supercomputer in our CS 4973 – Supercomputing Architecture and Design course.
