Teaching
Throughout my time at UCI I’ve had the privilege of being an undergraduate learning assistant (LA) as well as a graduate teaching assistant (TA).
Learning Assistantships
LA’s are responsible for supporting instruction in UCI classes, with responsibilities including but not limited to: attending lecture courses and assisting students with class activities; co-running discussion and lab sections with teaching assistants; holding review sessions and creating review materials; facilitating active learning techniques, and holding office hours.
Teaching Assistantships
TA’s hold all the same responsibilities as LA’s, except TA’s are responsible for running course sections and grading assignments, exams, etc.
Courses I've assisted with
ESS 21 – On Thin Ice: Climate Change and the Cryosphere (Spring 2021)
Description: “Introduction of the basic science that governs the cryosphere and its interaction with the climate system. Covers some of the significant economic, sociological, and political consequences of the recent melting of the cryosphere driven by anthropogenic climate change.”
ESS 134 – Fundamentals of GIS for Environmental Science (Fall 2021)
Description: “Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Topics include fundamentals of cartography, creating/editing GIS data, linking spatial and tabular data, georeferencing, map projections, geospatial analysis, spatial statistics, and the development of GIS models. Examples from hydrology, ecology, and geology.”
ESS 116 – Introduction to Environmental Data Science (Winter 2022)
Description: “Analysis and interpretation of geophysical data, including functional fitting, probability density functions, and multidimensional time-series methods, with applications in atmospheric, oceanic, and biogeochemical sciences.”
ESS 40C – Earth System Physics (Spring 2022)
Description: “Covers the fundamental physical forces and laws that affect the Earth system, such as electromagnetic radiation and energy transfer, atmospheric and ocean dynamics. Also covers aspects of physics related to environmental issues, such as electricity generation and transmission.”
