This pages details my teaching experience. For an overview of my industry and volunteering experience, please see my Linkedin profile.
I have been closely involved with Haide College, a joint initiative between the University of Adelaide and the Ocean University of China. This has involved on-site teaching in the lovely city of Qingdao, Shandong. I have assisted with the delivery of:
Computational Bayesian Statistics: a fourth year course covering Bayesian modelling approaches with an emphasis on computational techniques.
Data Science: a third year course covering the mathematical formulation and implementation of modelling approaches in data science.
Probability & Statistics: a second year course covering basic statistics and probability theory.
Projects in Mathematics: a second year course teaching students the fundamentals of mathematical writing, proof, and communication through a series of projects across both pure and applied mathematics.
During my time at the University of Adelaide, I had the opportunity to work casually within the School of Computer and Mathematical Sciences as a lecturer, tutor and marker for a range of undergraduate courses. I have taught the following courses:
Here are a few pieces of anonymous student feedback on my teaching, as surveyed each semester:
“Liam genuinely cares. His tutorials actively encourage student participation as we work through problems together, with him providing intuitive explanations to help in understanding not only the processes, but the physical interpretation and a general understanding of the underlying principles. His assignment feedback is well thought out and at times quite detailed, showing genuine effort to give helpful and constructive feedback. He has been a highlight of the course throughout the semester”
“Very engaging and was very approachable. Tried to make the course more interesting with his charisma.”
“Liam creates an interactive and engaging environment in tutorials. I appreciate his personal experiences and opinions that he shares, to make the content more applicable. Liam also provides really kind and constructive feedback.”
“Liam was one of the best teachers I’ve had at the university. He was very clear in his explanations of course material and often delivered concepts in particularly ‘down–to–earth’ terms that made them easier to understand.”
I have additionally been a marker/grader for the following courses:
