Research Interests

EObjective evaluation of students' longhand note taking
EEffective teaching methods for undergraduate students in psychology major
EBehavioral technology

My research interests concern how teachers' and students' behaviors interact each other in university classes. I am particularly interested in the influence of different lecture modes on students' note taking behavior and their academic outcome. My current research includes time-sereis analysis on note taking in relation to teacher's use of whiteboards and slides.
