Teaching

Teaching Interests

I am interested in teaching a broad range of courses in psychology, including but not limited to: introductory psychology, cognitive psychology, animal cognition, evolutionary psychology, developmental psychology, cross-cultural psychology, cognitive neuroscience, statistics, and research methods at the introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels. I especially enjoy mentoring students in active project-based learning in medium to small classes, and I would welcome the opportunity to develop new courses in psychology.
