Susanna Henderson's Digital Portfolio

THE STUDENT BODY

1.1. Recommendation Letters

• Constellation of recommendation letters for GSR 104, MAT 102, and

     MAT 40 students 

• Wrote more than ten letters from November 2012 to present.

 

THE ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT

2.1. Her written peer evaluations were based on:

• Mark Phipps' GSR 104 Course (Spring 2013)

• Carrie St Cyr's MAT 040 Course (Spring 2013)

 

2.2.  Department of Science, Technology and Mathematics (DSTM) meetings

Susanna was unable to attend monthly meetings/presentations, due to her classes offered on Thursdays at 1pm to 1:50pm. Below is the sample that Dr. Kathleen Arnos asked Dr. Regina Nuzzo to query the math folks about the service opportunities.  Susanna was willing to be part of Open House Planning and Display Improvements. Her plan was to create a new display for the Mathematics Program in the Spring of 2014.

5. Mathematics project(s)--see Susanna's sample

6. MML training

In the future, she would like to have all instructors observe each other in class.

 

2.4.   GSR 104 meetings

To attend GSR 104 meetings, Mark Phipps, Lindsay Buchko and Susanna worked on:

• Using Lindsay Buchko's new Statistics Project (using GapMinder World)

• Revising the Finance Project parts (Career & Monthly Expenses, Savings Plan, Credit Card, Student Loan)

• Making my guidelines of creating APA format in ASL

• Discussing a few issues related to supplemental instruction (SI) leaders

• Creating MML questions online during the winter break (January 2013).

• Peer observations (Ms. Henderson already observed Ms. Buchko’s class on October 1, but did not provide constructive feedback to her. However, Ms. Buchko was a wonderful teacher and hard-worker to develop GSR 104 materials!)
