You can access a syllabus (in pdf format) for
the last term I taught the class by clicking on the
course name.
I have developed web materials for all of my courses. For this purpose I use webCT the platform for delivery of course web materials used at PSU. My courses' webpages generally include a discussion forum, online homeworks and/or examinations, readings or other visual materials.

I taught for several years before
joining PSU . Between 1998 and 2001 I was at Eastern Mediterranean University in North
Cyprus where I taught introductory courses in macro and micro, intermediate
micro, international trade, labor economics, development and Latin American
political economy. Prior to Cyprus I taught introductory courses at Austin Community College in Austin,
Texas and at the University of Texas
at Austin. For a couple of years I also worked as an academic mentor
for the Women's Athletics program at UT-Austin.
I received the John Eliot Allen Outstanding Teaching Award in
Economics for the 2003-2004 academic year.
