I taught one to two sections of the Experimental Psychology Laboratory per semester, which included lectures on experimental design, basic statistics, research ethics and IRB, and APA style writing.

I worked in the Department of Psychology under Dr. James Dykes and later under Dr. Peter Pfordresher. Under Dr. Dykes, I consented participants for a series of visual experiments. Under Dr. Pfordresher, I recruited and consented participants to engage in tone experiments. I also analyzed singing data and assisted with the assembly of a soundproof room and microphone for the experiment.
