I have taught relatively small classes (20-40 students) in Research Methods and Introduction to Psychology and really enjoyed being able to give individual attention and lead discussion. I have assisted instructors, and given guest lectures, in much larger classes (120-250 students) and would be comfortable teaching classes of that size as well. In addition to an obvious preference for teaching courses in my specialty area, I thoroughly enjoy teaching undergraduate statistics and research methods and would enjoy teaching writing component courses.
