Experience:
Research Assistant.
As Mark Lussier’s R.A. for the 2000 North American Society for the Study of Romanticism (NASSR) conference, I have created a webpage for the conference, assisted professor Lussier with the National Endowment for the Humanities grant, and assisted with various administrative tasks.
Teaching Assistant: Humanities 301(Fall)/302(Spring).
Teaching Assistants for the Humanities Department are responsible for teaching one, fifty minute discussion group each week, grading all assignments, creating tests and paper topics, assigning grades, and meeting with students in office hours. The class lecture format is team-taught, so the teaching assistants provide a sense of unity for the students.
Technology Instructor: English 200.
This pilot English 200 course combined a traditional English survey course with a technology component. As the Technology Instructor, I planned the lessons for the last month of classes, including instruction and projects. The final course project required each student to create their own homepage for the author (covered in the class) of their choice. The students were required to include an image, a paragraph about the author that they wrote, hyperlinks to other webpages, and their email address.
Graduate Computer Aided Instruction Specialist.
As a Graduate Computer Aided Instruction Specialist, I was in charge of Computer Aided Instruction for the A.S.U. Football team. This position requires a knowledge of educational techniques, computer skills, and language skills. I also conducted instructional workshops for the general public in: M.S. Windows 3.1x, WordPerfect 6.x, and Netscape. I was also the creator and administrator of the L.R.C.’s World Wide Web page.
