| 2003 |
Developed MATH 160 College Algebra |
| 2001 |
Converted Discrete Mathematics to a six-module "Balanced Learning Format" course, both online and face-to-face delivery versions. Wrote summary "Key Points" and extensive "Examples and Explanations" for each section. |
| 2000 |
Developed MATH 150 Fundamental Algebra, a course designed to fulfill the University's Algebra Competency requirement, combining the outcomes of the existing Introduction to Algebra and Intermediate Algebra courses. |
| 2000 |
Served as content expert for a new "Balanced Learning Format" statistics course for Business Administration majors. Helped to develop the course outcomes, reviewed and edited the "Instructor Notes." |
| 2000 |
Updated an existing online version of Computer Science I (C++ programming) and converted it to a new, six-module format. Reviewed the course outcomes, correlated practice exercises and assessment activities to the outcomes, edited the "Instructor Notes," and revised the course structure to achieve the desired format. |
| 1998 |
Developed an online version of Discrete Mathematics (a course for Computer Science majors). Determined outcomes, developed syllabus and course structure, wrote extensive "Instructor Notes" to serve, along with textbook, as the main instructional component for the course. |
| 1997 |
Developed an online version of Finite Mathematics (a course for Business majors). Determined outcomes, developed syllabus and course structure, wrote extensive "Instructor Notes" to serve, along with textbook, as the main instructional component for the course. |
