Teaching

I am currently teaching two undergraduate seminars, Practical Ethics and Logic and Decision Theory, at UNC, Chapel Hill. I have previously taught seminars on PPE, bioethics, social choice theory, epistemology, logic (both deductive and inductive), and decision theory at UNC, University of Konstanz, U.C. Irvine, and California State University, Long Beach. Online lecture videos for my undergraduate course on inductive reasoning, taught at UCI, are available here.

A statement of my teaching philosophy together with my student evaluations can be found here.
