Teaching experience at IUB

Grading and holding office hours

Before being a slug, I was in the Statistics PhD program and received my master degree in Economics at IUB. I was respnsible for grading and holding office hours for the following courses:

  • Spring 2013: S420/620 Introduction to Statistical Theory (Dr. Luen). Introductory mathematical statistics or statistical inference course at advanced undergraduate or graduate level. Textbook: All of Statistics, by Larry Wasserman. The course didn't cover all of All of Statistics, and foused on chapters 6 to 13 only.
  • Spring 2013: S432/632 Applied Linear Models II (Prof. Huang). Part II of a two semester sequence on linear models, emphasizing the ANOVA, design of experiments and generalized linear models. Textbook: Classical and Modern Regression with Applications, by Raymond Myers; Design and Analysis of Experiments, by Douglas Montegomery; Extending the Linear Models with R, by Julian J. Faraway.
  • Fall 2012: S431/631 Applied Linear Models I (Prof. Huang). Part I of a 2-semester sequence on linear models, emphasizing linear regression. Instead of going into details of matrix algebras and proofs, this sequence of course focused more on data analysis using R or SAS. Textbook: Classical and Modern Regression with Applications, by Raymond Myers. (syllabus)
  • Fall 2012: S426/626 Bayesian Theory and Data Analysis (Prof. Huerta, now at Univeristy of New Mexico). Introduction to the theory and practice of Bayesian inference. Textbook: Bayesian Ideas and Data Analysis, by Christensen, R., Johnson, W., Branscum, A. and Hanson, T.E. Only chaters 1 to 6 were covered. I also was a TA for this course in Fall 2011, working with (Prof. Rocha), now at Eli Lilly and Company.
  • Spring 2012: K310 Statistical Techniques (Prof. Sang, now at University of Mississippi). Introduction to probability and statistics for students in business major.
  • Spring 2010: M119 Brief Survey of Calculus I (Prof. Wheeler). Introduction to calculus. Primarily for students from business and the social sciences.
Leading lab discussion

I also lead lab discussion for the following course and workshop.

  • Fall 2011: S501 Statistical methods (Prof. Wyatt, now at Healthgrades). An applied linear model course for non-statistics major graduate students, focosing more on concepts of linear regression and how to coding R.
  • Fall 2012: R workshop assistant(Instructor Thomas Jackson). I was tutoring on data management, descriptive statistics, graphics, linear regression, testing, creating functions and basic if-else and for loop statement.
