Shira Viel, Assistant Professor of the Practice

Shira Viel

I am an Assistant Professor of the Practice in the Department of Mathematics at Duke University. My work focuses primarily on the Calculus sequence through teaching, coordination, research, and curriculum development. My current interests include undergraduate STEM students' sense of classroom community, graduate student teaching professional development, and grading and assessment policies.
