My current research interests include\u00a0how the way that course grades are assigned and feedback is given affects the student experience in a course. I want to learn more about the impact that this has on how students feel about grades, how much they learn from the course, and how much of that they retain for future courses. Along with that, I am also interested in implementation methods for these alternative grading schemes in larger and different class environments. A second major interest is the training of graduate students for teaching and improving pedagogical practices across all instructors. To this end, I am focused on implementation methods for active learning in large classes, methods of teaching active learning practices to novice instructors, and best practices for introducing new instructors to teaching techniques.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
