Research Abstract |
As the Director of the Spanish Language Curriculum, I wear, in principle, two very different hats: on one hand, I am responsible for the smooth operation of the lower-division language program, its offerings and all of its students, as well as the training, coordination and supervision of 30-35 Graduate Teaching Assistants, while, on the other hand, I also regularly teach advanced grammar and linguistics classes to our upper-division undergraduate and graduate students alike. I like my job especially well because it involves both teaching and administration. | |
