How I can help with research:

• Develop a research topic or question
• Choose the right information sources for your topic
• Search efficiently for information
• How and where to find datasets
• Schedule a research meeting - meetings are virtual (Zoom) by default but in-person meetings are available by request

How I can help with teaching:

• Help you identify relevant content for your courses:
• Instructional design consultations for research assignments:
  • Scaffold the teaching of research to increase student success
  • Develop learning activities to teach navigating and evaluating resources, finding datasets, writing literature reviews, etc.  
• Teach research workshops:
  • "Research as Process": students learn about writing a research question, evaluating sources, searching for datasets, and more.
  • Custom-designed workshop for your course
  • Create a course-specific research guide
• Work with students individually about research strategies for term papers, theses, projects, and presentations
• Email me or schedule a meeting to discuss - meetings are default virtual but in-person is possible
