Teaching-Relevant Projects

  • [CS-relevant] Dynamo Students often find dynamic programming strategies for solving problems challeging. As part of UMass CICS 879: Teaching Assistants as Tomorrow’s Faculty, I co-developed Dynamo with Bao Nguyen and Cullen Anderson to help students understand dynmic programming through a combination of text, worked examples, and self-quizzes. (Fall 2025)
  • [other] Calling It Round Women are historically under-represented in the upper echelons of English change ringing, and especially so in leadership roles, in part due to the strong oral tradition of passing down knowledge. This oral tradition, while an important part of bell ringing’s history and present, nonetheless perpetuates historical biases. The publication Calling It Round is aimed at an audience with some change ringing background, but without any conducting background. It was written by me (Bryn Reimer) and typifies many of my pedagogical approaches: some text, some pictures, some `hidden curriculum' tips, lots of practice. (Summer 2021)
