My Introduction

Hi everyone! My name is Antoinette Davis. I am a native from Benton Harbor, Michigan.

I was born and raised in Michigan and I really enjoy the 4 seasons (spring, summer, fall, and winter). Currently, I hold an Associate’s Degree in Secondary Education from Lake Michigan College. I also hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics with a minor in Accounting from Oakwood University. In 2007, I completed a Master’s Degree in Applied Mathematics from Wayne State University. (Go Wayne!)

In my graduate study, I took the time to do research on Linear Programming and Complex Analysis through Directed Study. I enjoy learning mathematics and teaching mathematics to students in traditional and virtual environments. I have taught adult learners as well as traditional students.

I enjoy teaching mathematics because I am able to show students how to learn math using a step-by-step approach. In this environment, I am able to learn from you as you learn from me.

I have worked as an instructor and a tutor at Lake Michigan College, Wayne State University, and Kaplan University. I have taught the following courses: Basic Mathematics, Elementary Algebra, College Algebra, Statistics, College Algebra B, and Math Topics for the Interdisciplinary Student. I have taught for LMC for 3 semesters. I have also taught for Kaplan for 1 year.

I enjoy teaching in the online environment because it gives me an opportunity to work from home (in Michigan). I don’t have any pets, but I have always wanted a pet fish.

I enjoy reading, movies, Sudoku puzzles, talking on the phone, and watching television. I also enjoy attending conferences that are closely related to Linear Programming. I enjoy shopping because I am able to buy dresses, tops, or skirts that have beautiful colors. Lastly, I enjoy teaching lower and upper level math courses to diverse groups of students.

I am heading towards completing my doctoral degree. Right now, I am a student at the University of Kentucky. I am a third year doctoral student in the Instruction/Administration-Mathematics Education. I am looking forward to graduating so that I can be a full-time Professor in Mathematics. I chose to take this class so that I can have a better understanding on how my students think. Also, I have never taken a Psychology class so I think that this course will help me to learn more about myself and my students.

I look forward to learning about and working with all of you as the course progresses. I am most open to answering questions about my background and look forward to getting to know you all better.
