Teaching Awards
As a graduate student, I received the Provost’s Teaching Excellence Letter in 2019, an award given to instructors of record who display exceptional teaching abilities. Additionally, I consistently surpassed the average student-evaluation scores across all graduate-level teaching assistants.
Selected Student Evaluations
“Professor Parker puts the material into his own words, but is so well spoken and also relates to students very well. I believe he is the best lecturer I have had at UCONN thus far.”
“This was my favorite class all semester and probably ever. A really great teacher and very nice.”
“Very helpful. Available. Really cared about the success of his students. Made class interesting. By far my favorite professor this semester.”
“Parker made a somewhat boring and technical class very interesting and fun. He successfully facilitated discussion in class and developed a great rapport with every student in the class.”
“Parker was the best TA!!!!!!”
