POLSCI 514:
The Use of Social Science Computer Programs
In Fall 2016 I taught the introduction to social science computing course for first year Ph.D. students in the Political Science department. This course was an entry-level course in R programming, with a focus on data manipulation, cleaning and visualization.
In the Spring/Summer term of 2018 I was the instructor of record for POLSCI 111, Introduction to American Politics. This course used the The American Political System (Kollman 2017) and Readings in American Politics: Analysis and Perspectives (Kollman 2018) to introduces students to the foundations of American Politics.

UM Big Data Summer Camp
In the summer of 2019 I was an instructor for Big Data Summer Camp, at the University of Michigan, sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies and Michigan Institute for Data Science. This hands on, intensive week-long camp camp is collaboratively taught by graduate student instructors to over 70 graduate and faculty participants from more than 30 different disciplinary units on campus. The camp was taught entirely in python, and covered topics from database management, machine learning, to web-scraping, text processing and network analysis. I was the lead instructor for the network analysis lesson.
