At The Ohio State University, I have taught within the Linguistics Department as instructor of record for LING 2000: Introduction to Linguistics.
Instructor of record for one section per semester. Designed syllabus, daily lesson plans, quizzes, exams, and assignments for the instruction of introductory linguistic material.
Course description (from link): "This course examines language as a system of human communication. It also provides students with the tools needed for the recording, investigation, and close analysis of language. The course consists of a general survey of language and linguistics. A number of topics relating to man's knowledge and use of language are systematically investigated. Examples are drawn primarily from the English language, although other languages are used to illustrate certain concepts. Nevertheless, the focus of the course is not on any specific language or languages; rather, it is on properties common to all languages and on ways in which languages may differ."
Course Goals:
By the end of this course, students should:
1. Know the basic levels of linguistic structure and understand how language is systematic at each of these levels.
2. Be able to analyze linguistic data and describe linguistic phenomena with the proper terminology.
3. Understand some of the ways that different languages use different means to achieve the same communicative goals.
4. Have a basic understanding of the role language plays in social behavior and be able to describe the relevance of social factors to language variation and language contact outcomes.
5. Be able to critically assess common beliefs about language and language varieties.
At the University of Kentucky, I taught as the instructor of record for two courses within the Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Studies department.
Instructor of record for two sections of 23 students each per semester. Designed lesson plans and assessments for the instruction of rhetoric, argumentation, and communication.
Course description (from link): WRD 110 focuses on critical inquiry and research. Throughout the course, students are encouraged to explore their place in the broader community and engage in reflective thinking and analysis. WRD 110 asks students to write and speak effectively about local issue not only for their classmates but also for audiences beyond the classroom. WRD 110 places special emphasis on the skills of conducting primary and secondary research, as well as how to use visuals and online resources to enhance writing and oral presentations. Over the course of the semester, class members can expect to work independently, with a partner, or with a small group of classmates to investigate, share findings, and compose presentations of their research, as well as to practice and evaluate interpersonal and team dynamics in action.

Course description (from link): WRD 111 focuses on rhetorical analysis, deliberation, and argumentation. Students use their sharpened research skills in order to explore issues of public concern and to propose solutions based on well-developed arguments. A significant component of the class will consist of learning to use visual and digital resources, first to enhance written and oral presentations and later to communicate mass mediated messages to various public audiences. Over the course of the semester, class members can expect to work independently, with a partner, and in a small group (team) to investigate, share findings, and compose and deliver presentations, as well as to practice and evaluate interpersonal and team dynamics in action.
