Teaching Experience
English 6103, Research Methods in Composition,
University of Oklahoma
Sp 2015
Rhetoric, and Literacy
A graduate level methods course, in which students were introduced to and practiced several of the
qualitative research methods used by scholars in the humanities; social sciences; and writing, rhetoric,
and literacy studies. The course was divided into 5 basic units according to method: 1. classroom data
collection, 2. ethnography, 3. spatial research, 4. archival research, and 5. digital methods.
English 3183, Authoring in the Information Age

University of Oklahoma

Sp 2015

In English 3183 students learned to write using digital tools while simultaneously learning how those
digital tools transform the ways they write. We challenged what technological literacy means (from
using a photocopier to make punk zines to tweeting) and constantly explored the idea that technology
is a set of things, a set of skills, and a set of values. By learning technical skills (web design, Photoshop,
film and audio editing, social media marketing), students also explored socio-technical values.
Students left the course with a working vocabulary of, among other topics, web design, graphic
design, social media marketing, participatory design, the philosophy of technology, and UX (user
experience) architecture.

English 3153, Technical Writing

University of Oklahoma
Au 2014
From the most basic lab report to medical aftercare instructions, from museum displays to airplane
safety guidesin English 3153, Technical Writing, students learned to analyze and produce technical
documents across a variety of settings. In particular this course took a wicked-scenarios approach to
writing for science, workplace, and consumer settings asking questions like: How can an aftercare
document help calm anxious patients in an ER? What responsibility do manufacturers have to
communicate the potential dangers of their products in an easy to understand way? How easy, is easy
enoughStudents produced a variety of documents throughout the semester including a designscenario journal, an analysis of a science museum exhibit, a popular translation of a technical concept
in their field (see NPRs Radiolab or Neil deGrasse Tysons Cosmos), and a website usability report..
