Statement of Responsibilities:

As a graduate student in the department of linguistics, I have primarily been a teaching assistant. As a teaching assistant, my responsibilities include leading the discussion section component of the course, grading, and coordinating with faculty. The nature and structure of the discussion component varies by course. In some courses it was primarily lab based, focusing on the skillsets necessary to do linguistic analysis and “lab” assignments (e.g., LING 302 all terms, 491 spring 2019, 2020). In other courses I focused primarily on deconstructing concepts from class and providing additional active learning opportunities to solidify complex concepts (e.g., LING 396, LING 302). Finally, other courses focused primarily on discussion based opportunities and preparation for written assignments (e.g., LING 201). As a sole instructor for LING 150: Structure of English words, I worked with other section instructors and faculty to develop assignments (see sample assignment), learning outcomes, and lecture materials.
