Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Lectures on intermediate-level topics such as price theory, game theory, or introductory econometrics — prepare and deliver independently to undergraduate cohorts with routine departmental oversight.
  • Course materials including syllabi, problem sets, and case studies — revise each semester based on student performance data and instructor feedback in a four-year college environment.
  • Empirical research manuscripts — draft and submit to peer-reviewed journals, incorporating constructive reviewer feedback through the revision process.
  • Student class work, papers, and examinations — evaluate with consistent rubrics and return timely, substantive written feedback that promotes deeper economic reasoning.
  • Course-specific examinations — compile, administer, and grade with growing independence, delegating routine scoring tasks to teaching assistants when appropriate.
  • Developments in the economics literature — monitor regularly by reading working papers, attending regional conferences, and engaging in collegial discussion to update course content.
  • Database and information retrieval software — use to access economic datasets such as FRED or WRDS for integrating real-world data examples into lectures and assignments.
  • Instructional strategies — select and adapt for mixed-ability undergraduate classrooms, applying principles of active learning to improve student engagement with quantitative material.
  • Student grade records and required compliance documentation — maintain with full accuracy in university administrative systems throughout the academic term.
  • Foundational curriculum elements — evaluate against program learning outcomes and propose incremental revisions to the curriculum committee for consideration.
