She has taught and taken an active role in the redesign of CPSC 210, 310, and 410, and has put in a huge effort in generating videos for the EdX MOOC on Software Construction. Her work on Mastery Learning and other aspects of assessing and improving learning goals and outcomes has made a greatly positive impact and has been extremely well received by our students.
