Teaching


My goal as an instructor is to inspire students to feel invested in their learning by creating educational experiences which will foster students’ lasting personal and professional growth.
 
To this end, my teaching is guided by three core practices: (1) leading with and inspiring enthusiasm for the material, (2) creating a learning environment of support and encouragement, and (3) helping students nurture the professional skills they need to succeed.

Sentiment Analysis with Emotion Dictionaries

Spring 2024 (UT Austin)

Students learn about sentiment dictionaries and the important nuances to consider when interpreting emotion from text. In a group activity, students compare sentiment analyses to their own intuition and discover how word counting may miss out on context.


Theories of Personality

Students take a historical view of personality theories, from Psychodynamic Theory to the Big Five. In minute papers and discussions, students apply concepts to their own personalities and evaluate the effectiveness of theories in describing personality.
