An Educated Guess

I provided teaching assistance for several design and economics courses. These featured diverse curriculum designs: individual versus team based, assignment versus exam-based, and theory versus project-based. Responsibilities comprised: running classes, running tutorials, overseeing design teams, designing assessments, and (of course) marking. Concurrently, I participated in education workshops and conferences. I developed proficiency in different teaching styles, and more importantly, how to adapt these to different learners and their objectives. I continue to apply this care towards the professional development of my peers and reports.
