Mastery: proficient (Level 3)(based on Bachelor's Degree)

  • Advanced graduate seminars and undergraduate survey courses on classical political thought, democracy, and international relations — design and deliver autonomously, integrating current scholarship and primary sources in a research university environment.
  • Developments across multiple subfields of political science — synthesize through systematic literature review, conference participation, and peer collaboration to inform both teaching and original research agendas.
  • Complex student writing including dissertations, theses, and graduate seminar papers — evaluate with expert critical judgment, offering detailed developmental feedback that advances scholarly argumentation.
  • Non-routine classroom situations including contested political topics and interdisciplinary inquiries — handle with skilled facilitation, persuasion, and conflict-sensitive moderation in a graduate seminar context.
  • Full curriculum design and periodic program-level review — lead independently, aligning course sequencing, learning objectives, and assessment methods with disciplinary standards and accreditation expectations.
  • Book-length manuscripts and peer-reviewed journal articles — produce and publish through sustained independent research in a specialized area of political science, contributing original knowledge to the field.
  • Comprehensive examination programs including qualifying and final exams — design, administer, and evaluate for graduate students within a doctoral or master's degree program.
  • Pedagogical approaches integrating computer-based training, OCR tools, and digital archives — deploy to enhance student research competency and engagement across law, government, and history-oriented coursework.
  • Complex problem solving in research design — apply inductive and deductive reasoning to develop theoretically rigorous frameworks for studying comparative politics or political behavior.
  • Time management across teaching, research, and service obligations — exercise with high dependability to fulfill the full scope of faculty responsibilities in a research-intensive postsecondary institution.
