2005 - Present Other Ph. D. in Applied Statistics. As Chair of the Ph. D. Committee 

and later as Chair of the Department, I was instrumental in 

drafting the proposal for a Ph.D. program in Applied Statistics. 

The program was approved by the Texas Higher Education 

Coordinating Board and implemented in the Fall of 2006. The 

program is one of a few doctoral programs in Statistics in Texas 

and the only program of its kind in the South Texas region. The 


11/8/2011


program is a partnership between UTSA and the University of 

Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. 

Master’s program in Applied Statistics. I prepared the 

proposal for a new Applied Statistics graduate program. The 

program was approved by the Coordinating board in 2008. This 

program emphasizes methodology and the use of software and 

computational tools to analyze large datasets. Students with 

these skills are in high demand in the growing health, 

biotechnology, and financial industries in this region and the 

program will help our students be competitive.

graded for all of the mentioned 

classes and provided office hours. 



01/2010 - Courses Taught The way my class is structured is through notes that I present to 

Present 

them during the lecture period. I always leave time for questions 

about the topics presented in class. There are periods during the 

class in which I allow the students to work on problems by 

themselves or in groups to get practice problems based on the 

material presented. Students are given quizzes, exams, and 

projects to assess their ability. I'm continually trying to improve 

my teaching techniques.

District has a program called GEAR 

UP. This program is to involve current 

high school juniors and seniors and get 

them interested in going to college. 

The students were able to choose which 

discipline they wanted to be involved 

in. I helped organize activities for 

students in statistics. There were two 

groups of 30 students each during the 

activities. The activity I presented was 

to help understand the chi-square 

goodness of fit test.

10/2010 - Continuing Workshop Carleton Carleton College hosted a 

10/2010 Education – 

College workshop titled "Carleton 

Enhancement 

Quantitative Inquiry, Reasoning, 

Activities 

& Knowledge Initiative". The 

workshop was a three-day event 

that included different activities, 

discussion groups, and 

presentations from faculty 

involved in quantitative literacy. 

Some topics that were discussed 

are the following: Quantitative 

Reasoning Today, Statistical 

Literacy, Assessment of 

Quantitative Reasoning in Student 

Writing, and Developing and 

Delivering a QR Course. There 

were several break out sessions 

that I attended including The 

Augsburg College Story by Milo 

Schield, The Carleton College 

Story by Nathen Grawe, and 

Student Support Services by Eric 

Gaze. Each of these breakout 

sessions included presentations 

about statistical literacy within 

their colleges as well as activities 

about the discussion. This 

workshop greatly helped our

Pedagogy - Development of New Pedagogies 


2010 - Present Development of As Program Coordinator for the QEP I have been working with 

New Pedagogies faculty members across the university to develop good 

quantitative writing assingments. I have incorporated these ideas 

in creating projects and developing effective rubrics for my own 

class. I challenge students to write summaries about graphs and 

charts within the first three weeks of the course. Grading a 

writing assignment for a large class is time consuming. 

Challenges to maintain uniformity across all papers is a constant 

concern. The questions I develop include key ideas which 

should be used in the writing assignment. Subsequently, these 

key points are assessed and uniformly scored for all students. 

Writing is graded for clarity of expression along with content. A 

well developed assignment and rubric can easily be handled by a 

teaching assistant. I have found that students rise to the 

challenge and are successful throughout the semester with their 

writing assignments. 

I begin each semester with a student survey. The data is used 

throughout the semester to teach students numerical and 

graphical summaries. Students are personally engaged in the 

learning process as the data is representative of the student 

population and can easily be compared to populations found, via 

web research, in other regions. 

All students are encouraged to work collaboratively on 

assignments. Technology is used to create graphs and write 

summaries. In upper level courses (MS 3043), students work in 

groups to create posters and present projects. The students 

have collected data that is meaningful and relevant to businesses, 

organizations, and/or individuals. Students who work in groups 

experience a myriad of good and bad practices that will certainly 

be exhibited again in the work place. I encourage students to

typeset in Latex software and post them on the Blackboard. For 

applied courses, SAS and/or R statistical software is used to 

analyze data. To provide examples, SAS codes for the programs 

used are posted regularly. I assign regular homework which is 

collocted, graded and returned promptly. Homeworks are a

mixture of theory and data analysis depending on the type and 

level of the course. To help students learn and correct their 

mistakes home work solutions are also posted. For certain 

courses, to prepare students better for exams, sample exams and 

their solutions are also posted as deemed necessary. In most of 

the graduate and senior level courses, students are required to 

work on group projects, make presentations and submit written 

reports. This gives them opprotunities to work on real and large 

data sets in groups, to learn report writing and to practice public 

speaking. Students benefit tremendously from such an 

experience. I make extensive and effective use of modern 

technology in teaching my classes and manage them on the 

Blackboard.

2011 Courses Taught STA 5103: Applied Statistics 

This is a core course for the MS Applied Statistics students and it 

is a sequel to STA 5093. This was my first time to teach the 

course and I prepared class notes for the course. Topics in this 

class include the extended applications to statistical hypothesis 

testing, factorial experiments with analysis-of-variance 

technique, and linear regression. 

2011 Courses Taught STA 1053: The course was taught in Spring 2011. 

2011 Courses Taught STA 4643: Stochastic Process 

The course was taught in summer, 2011. 

2010 Courses Taught STA 6113: Applied Bayesian Statistics 

This was my third-time to teach the course. I added more 

computation-oriented work and projects for students and they 

were not that well received in the beginning. But they felt 

benefited at the end of the semester. 

2010 - 2010 Courses Taught STA 4643: Stochastic Process 

Again, this is a first-time course for me at UTSA. It is a very 

unique and exciting experience to me since this is a more 

theoretical course for undergraduate Statistics majors. 

2010 Courses Taught STA 5513: Mathematical Statistics II 

2010 Courses Taught STA 1993: Biostatistics 

It is always fun and intriguing to teach Statistics to 

undergraduate students. This was my first time to teach the 

course,. 

2010 Courses Taught STA 5093: Introduction to Statistical Inference. 

2007 Courses Taught STA 5503, Mathematical Statistics I 

Pedagogy - Significant Course Development 


2011 Significant Course STA 5103: Applied Statistics 

Development This is a sequel course after STA 5093 and the sequence is 

required for the MS Applied Statistics students. Topics in this 

class include Goodness-of-fit tests, nonparametric tests, oneway, 

two-way and multi-way factorial experiments with 

Analysis-of-Variance (ANOVA) method, and simple and 

multiple linear regressions. 

2010 Significant Course STA 5093: Introduction to Statistical Inference. 

Development A newly-developed course and first-time taught by the teacher, 

third time in the department. This course aims at the entering MS 

students in Statistics major and graduate students in general to 

other majors. Topics include Introduction to basic statistics, 

probability, random variable, commonly used probability 

distributions, statistical estimation and hypothesis testing and 

large-sample concepts. 

STA 6113: Applied Bayesian Statistics 

This was my third-time to teach the course. I added more 

computation-oriented work and projects for students and they 

were not that well received in the beginning. But they felt 

benefited at the end of the semester.
