Congratulations to Tamara Knox for winning one of four university-wide outstanding teaching fellow awards! She will be recognized at the Honor's day Convocation on April 4, at the Murchison Performing Arts Center.

Ms. Tamara (Tam) Knox has been a TA or TF in the Mathematics Department since Fall 2011. Tam has established herself as an outstanding instructor of Math 1100 (College Algebra), Math 1580 (Survey of Math) and Math 1680 (Elementary Probability and Statistics).

Tam's students appreciate her engaging and passionate teaching style, her self-deprecating humor and her endless patience to ensure that every student understands the material before moving on to the next topic. In addition, Tam's class is an excellent example of how to use high technology effectively in the classroom. Tam uses a tablet computer with active digitizing, with Microsoft OneNote as the software. Using mathematical software: GeoGebra and a TI-83 emulator, Tam explains how to use a graphing calculator or some pictorial illustrations of mathematical ideas nicely.
