center\"><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Quantitative Reasoning<\/strong>\u00a0 This has been my most frequently taught course (as it is for the majority of the department). \u00a0Given the number of hours devoted to this course annually, I&#8217;ve taken the time to produce several online resources for the course ranging from guided lecture slides, video podcasts, and calculator tutorial videos. \u00a0I have shared these resources with other colleagues in the department and am collecting much of this information to be included in a personal website which will be unveiled for the first time in the Fall 2012 semester. \u00a0This course has also been the focal point of a mobile learning study for the last two years focusing on student usage of mobile computing applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ordinary Differential Equations \u00a0<\/strong>This course most directly relates to the broad field of my dissertation research. \u00a0As a result, this course has served as a creative outlet for various non-traditional assessments. \u00a0Students have been asked to create their own video podcasts detailing responses to various applied mathematics problems. \u00a0Students are also required to give a peer-reviewed presentation as a component of the course. \u00a0This course and the Partial Differential Equations course are used to encourage student participation in the undergraduate research festival.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Partial Differential Equations<\/strong>\u00a0 This course is the product of two years worth of conversations with the physics department who have graciously agreed to stop teaching their PHYS 385: Math of Physics and Engineering in lieu of this course. \u00a0The course was developed in consultation with the department of physics and debuted with a strong enrollment of 16 students for the first time in the Spring 2012 semester. \u00a0As of the Fall 2012 semester I am completing a new course application for MATH 463: Partial Differential Equations and making the required degree plan adjustments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&lt;&lt;&lt; <a title=\"Personal Philosophy\"
