Charles Deering McCormick Distinguished Professor of Instruction; Associate Chair; Lead Adviser

Research Interests

My research interests center on two broad areas: (1) pedagogical research on the best practices for instruction in psychology in general, and statistics (as it is taught in psychology) more specifically; and (2)  fathers and children's socio-emotional development.
