Teaching
Universidad del Pacífico
Teaching Assistant (Jefe de Prácticas), Department of Economics · 2021 – 2025 · five courses · 23 course-sections
I taught my own weekly discussion sections, designed and graded the problem sets, wrote the midterm and final examinations each term, and advised students through office hours.
Universidad del Pacífico runs two full semesters a year, written I (March to July) and II (August to December), plus a short intensive summer term in January and February, written 00. So 202X-II is the second semester of 202X, and 202X-00 is the summer term running from January to February 202X.
