Introductory Statistics (STAT-250) Lab Instructor. Trained students in Microsoft Excel for data visualization, data cleaning, exploratory data analysis, regression modeling, and statistical testing for experiments and observational studies. Focused on the impact of outliers, dealing with "uncleaned" data, working with different data types (extracting data from databases, handling CSV / text / tab-delimited "flat files", etc.), and drawing conclusions from statistical results.Introduced students to applications of statistics for medical research (i.e., early phase clinical trials), business-making decisions, computer science applications, political analysis & public polling, and measuring effects of policy-making outcomes.Explained the importance of assumptions in parametric models & tests (i.e., linear regression, tests for proportion(s), average(s), and categorical data).Worked with students individually during and outside of class. Presented weekly lectures on frequentist statistics topics through data science activities given in Excel. Had students engage in discussions about the role of statistics in the era of Big Data.Received highly positive anonymous student feedback at the end of each semester on teaching style, accessibility outside of class, and exceeding the course objectives. Anonymous feedback available upon request.
