Only National Teaching Award for Undergraduate Education. Mentoring, Advising, and Student Support:

Graduate Faculty Member of Purdue University (1992 – Pr) See “Advising Record” for graduate students advised at www.math.iupui.edu/~jwatt/materials

Noted Undergraduate Advisees: Marianne McKenzie, BS Math 2011, currently PhD Candidate at Oxford Igor Minevich, BS Math 2009, Brown University, PhD in Math Scored in the top 15% on the National Putnam Contest William Karr, BS Math 2011 with Distinction Currently PhD candidate in Math at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign School of Science Faculty Mentoring Report by Graduating Seniors:

See “SoS Mentoring Report” for results by year at www.math.iupui.edu/~jwatt/materials


Other School’s Faculty Mentoring Report by Graduating Seniors (non-science majors):

Identified by 5 students graduating from Liberal Arts as, “this professor has influenced the whole course of my life and this teacher’s effect on me is invaluable.”

(2000, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2009). Identified by 17 students graduating from Liberal Arts as a professor at IUPUI outside of the

School of Liberal Arts who had a positive and remarkable influence. Student Support and Advising Services:

Primary responsibility for: math placement testing of non-mathematics majors (1988 – Pr) advising all undergraduate math majors (1990 – Pr) advising graduate students in mathematics education (1990 – Pr) Peer Mentor Program in Finite Mathematics (1992 – 2003) In collaboration with the Peer Mentoring Center, Finite Mathematics was the first course

at IUPUI to experiment with peer mentoring. Created the School of Science Student Career Services Office (2011) As Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Outreach and with startup funding from an

NSF grant, created the career center and hired a director for the career center for the School of Science, with three staff members. The center provides a range of services primarily for undergraduate science students requiring assistance in finding internships, career exploration, resume writing, and job placement services.

Graduate Student Support: MATH 495: Mathematics Teaching Seminar for Graduate Students (1998) Created a required course for graduate students within the department for teaching

mathematics. Since many of our graduate students have had little or no teaching experience and some are not familiar with American educational practice, this course provides information on how to get the course started, solve classroom problems that arise during teaching, implement grading and evaluation techniques, and perform peer evaluation of other graduate students (successful veterans).

Masters of Science Mathematics Teaching Option Redesigned the dormant Masters of Art in Mathematics Teaching (MAT degree) into a

M.S. degree that meets the new State of Indiana requirements for continuing education for in-service secondary mathematics teachers.

Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellows at IUPUI Designed a two-year plan of study for graduate students seeking secondary certification

to teach high school and middle school mathematics, and responsible for advising the Woodrow Wilson Fellows in the mathematics option.
