teaching
For the Fall 2013 semester, I was primary instructor for a writing seminar on conceptual metaphors in cognitive linguistics. The primary goal of the seminar was developing writing skills at the college level. Students went through successive stages of drafting, instructor feedback, workshops and peer review to write six formal essays, culminating in a corpus study of a conceptual metaphor. I designed and had sole responsibility for teaching, grading, and meeting with students for private conferences.

I also gave a 75min guest lecture for this class of about 200 students. My lecture was an introduction to language and linguistics at the level of words and sentences (morphology and syntax), with an emphasis on general concepts in cognitive science that we had already covered in class. [slides]
