Other Teaching Experience

In 2022, I was the R Support Officer for the School of Psychology. In this role, I worked independently to provide support in using R to all second- and third-year undergraduate psychology students. Responsibilities included producing online resources (e.g., how to install and load packages, how to run t-tests), facilitating weekly drop-in sessions via zoom, and answering online discussion board questions.

In late 2021, I was employed by the School of Psychology to write and record a series of online modules for first-year psychology students on essay writing and APA formatting and referencing. As part of this role, I also used Canvas Learning Management Software to create the course page for these modules.
