About Me
I started at DILL mainly by starting the Calculus Study with Randi. In this project I have worked with other PhD students and also MACSME students who became interested in the project. Other than that, I'm a regular participant of our weekly meeting. I provide random jokes and helpful constructive criticism, too. Of course.
Current Projects
I am currently heavily immersed with the Calculus Study. We are doing a second round of data collection with PDP GSIs and the students that we worked with in Fall 2006 semester. We hope this additional information will help us generalize our current claims about the section and the GSI from Fall 2006 and also to learn about student academic trajectories after leaving PDP Math 1A. The second project I'm involved in is writing a paper with Randi on Growing Cognitive Demand of Mathematical Tasks. This has been an ongoing project since summer of 2007 but I think we are finally ready to wrap this up by the end of this Fall semester. Third, I am working with Danielle Champney on a project investigating the GSI from the Calculus Study. Specifically, we are studying ways that his beliefs and goals affect his interactions with students. We are hoping to submit a proposal to RUME (Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education) conference and present.
