I help students make economic ideas concrete through familiar examples, active practice, and clear connections across topics. Students test their reasoning through discussion, live demonstrations, and short in-class Sheets that ask them to apply what they have just learned.

Sheets

In my in-person courses, I developed Sheets: brief paper exercises completed during the final few minutes of class. The Sheets ask students to reinforce the day's material by drawing graphs, solving short problems, and explaining their reasoning while the concepts are still fresh. As students work—often consulting their notes and discussing ideas with classmates—I move around the classroom to identify misconceptions, answer questions, and adjust future instruction where needed. Because the Sheets count toward participation, they also encourage collaboration and provide a low-stakes incentive for regular attendance.
