1 Statement of Teaching Philosophy

My teaching objective is to develop students’ abilities to understand the core of economics and apply

economic analysis to solve practical issues, regardless of their background. To accomplish this, I put

emphasis on three subjects: interest, implementation, and impact (“3I”).

Interest comes first because when students are interested in what they are studying, they are

motivated to absorb more information and thus can understand the content deeper. My foremost

approach is to create an interactive learning environment by using effective teaching tools and

forming study groups. Various media tools (video, newspaper, radio) help students learn the basic

ideas in a short time by capturing their attention to real-world cases. Take the example of explaining

inflation: I show a video about the hyperinflation in Zimbabwe to intrigue students’ interest and then

guide them to think about the consequences of inflation. Graphical illustration is another effective

tool, for instance, supply and demand curves are useful to understand the dynamic of how price

interacts with quantity of output. Furthermore, I encourage my students to interact with others,

as I randomly assign them to group discussions in the class and distribute group projects to them

outside of the class. By sharing thoughts and brainstorming, students become more interested in a

subject as they can see it in different perspectives.

Implementation stresses students’ ability to grasp the essence of an issue and then practice

effective approaches to solve the problem. Being aware that students may easily get lost after they

have learned a complicated model, I always present the big picture before going through the details

of a model. I reiterate the point in class that every model gives us a concrete characterization for

what we observe in the economy or our daily life. Students can then easily specialize this general

point to any particular model without losing the big picture. Next, by understanding the roots

of the mechanisms studied in class, students can comprehend economic models and thus develop

an effective and rigorous problem-solving process. For example, they may find an assumption of a

model not working in certain circumstances, then they can think about how to fix the model by

comparing the learned models or developing their own model.

Impact requires going beyond the textbook and applying knowledge to real-world matters. I

help students read through selected materials that are closely related to the teaching content, and

I incentivize the students that their work can have a significant impact on society. One example is

when I explain “comparative advantage,” I illustrate how facilitating globalization can be a win-win

for two countries while using current data. Then I have an assignment asking “what may go wrong

with globalization?” This open question allows students to think as an economist, and to derive

policy implications related to international trade. When they explore broader out of class, their

critical and creative thinking can be cultivated. Meanwhile, as they recognize the impact of their

insights and work, their interests can be sparked, which reinforces my first principle—interest.

Additionally, I attach importance to the challenge of teaching diverse audiences. Since students

vary in backgrounds and learning styles, I adapt both my teaching content and style to accommodate

their diversity and to make the learning environment more welcoming. This has included adopting

a frequent feedback system, as well as offering extra office hours to talk about other economic issues

that they are concerning about.

Teaching has been one of the most rewarding experiences during my life. I feel fulfilled seeing

my students making progress. In the future, I will continue striving to cultivate young minds and

impart a clear vision of how economics can be applied to explain real-world issues.

2 Teaching Experience

I am experienced in teaching, assisting professors for different levels of courses, and mentoring

students on the one-to-one basis.

In the summer of 2015, I taught Introduction to Macroeconomics for Washington University,

and the class is registered in full capacity (see 3.2). I am very grateful to this opportunity of training

myself further as a teacher, not only to adapt myself to the US higher education learning culture,

but also to expose myself to the young and ambitious students, who are thirsty to learn beyond the

class. My teaching objective is to enhance students’ abilities to understand the core of economics and

apply economic analysis to solve practical issues. To accomplish this, I have developed my teaching

philosophy of “3I”: interest, implementation, and impact (details in my Teaching Statement). I

was glad my class was registered in full capacity and received positive feedback. I have created

an interactive learning environment by forming study groups and using various media tools. With

an anonymous feedback mechanism as well as creating some open slots to talk about the issues

that they are interested in, I have adjusted my pace to accommodate their requirement and diverse

interests. I was pleased seeing my students were actively involved in class and performed well. One

of my students Yuheng Fu wrote an unsolicited recommendation letter (see 3.2).

Over the course of graduate school, I have learned to teach from my professors and have put

their philosophies into practice in lectures. I have also benefited greatly from my teaching assis-

tantship since 2014 (8 semesters) for various levels of courses at Washington University, including

Introduction to Macroeconomics, Introduction to Microeconomics, Labor and the Economy, Ad-

vanced Topics in Modern Economic Growth, Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory, Intermediate

Microeconomic Theory, and the MBA course in Olin business school—Market Competition & Value

Appropriation. The responsibilities varied from solving homework on the board to guide the stu-

dents in the exams. During my office hour, I guided students to understand the essence of a problem

and asked them some motivating questions to ensure that they had absorbed the course concepts.

I offered extra office hour if the students had many questions, and carefully pointed out the incor-

rect points in their homework or exams. These experience have honed my skills to meet diversified

requirements from the students, and improved my abilities to foster their critically and analytically

thinking. Meanwhile, I have received more professional training from the teaching workshops held

by our Teaching Center, including teaching a discussion class, incorporating active learning into

lectures, and gathering evidence of teaching effectiveness.

Since 2009, I have been one of the leaders for the “One-to-One Volunteer Tutoring Program”

in my university cooperating with a local community. I have worked closely with ten high-school

students from lower-income families, and I felt it truly rewarding after I got positive feedback from

them. The most unforgettable experience was when I tutored a boy with his English. I found it

frustrating at first because he was bright but he kept forgetting grammar and basic words. After

I realized it was because he was not engaged in learning English compared to his favorite subject

math, I tried to spark his interest in English by using examples from his favorite activity: football.

My endeavor paid off as he improved his English grade from 60 to 80 in a single semester. Hearing

this news was one of the proudest moments of my life, since my help had a tangible effect on him.

My teaching experience reminds me of the perspiration of my teachers as they impart knowledge

and cultivate minds. I realized I have to enrich myself so that I can teach and inspire others. I am

looking forward to teaching again after I graduate.

3.2 Instructor—Class Attendance and Recommendation Letter

As an instructor, I have taught Introduction to Macroeconomics for Washington University in St.

Louis in 2015 Summer. I conducted the teaching evaluations on hard copies in my last class,

because I wanted to make sure that everyone would submit their evaluations. Unfortunately, I

failed to save those copies. However, when one student Yuheng Fu, learned that I am applying for

academic positions, she wrote an unsolicited recommendation letter for me (see 3.2). The following

“Performance Dashboard” proves that (1) Yuheng Fu is the student in my class; (2) no student

has written an online review; (3) my class was registered in full capacity (allowing for the rule that

students could drop the course in two weeks).

Unsolicited Recommendation LetterTo whom it may concern,

My name is Yuheng Fu. I am in my sophomore year at Washington University in St. Louis,

where I’m majoring in mathematics with a concentration in statistics and pursuing a minor in

General Business. I participated in High School Summer Scholars Program at Washington University

in the summer of 2015 and enrolled in a summer section of Introduction to Macroeconomics which

was instructed by Yvonne (Yinghong) Zhang as a part of the program.

I was very nervous about this class at first because it was my first time to sit in a college class-

room and learned college-level classes. However, soon I realized that my concerns were unnecessary:

Yvonne gave us clearly-structured lectures with not only definitions and concepts based on the text-

book but also vivid examples related to daily life. Those examples really helped me put concepts into

concrete contexts. Her problem sets were also helpful tools for students to review class materials.

Besides, she is easily accessible during office hours and really cares about students in person. After

knowing that I was a high school student interested in the field of economics, she listened to my

plans for college study patiently and carefully and gave me very personalized suggestions on how to

be better prepared for both college life and the study of economics. Such mentorship continues to

today after I came back to Washington University as an undergraduate student.

Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Ms. Yvonne (Yinghong) Zhang to join your team.

As a caring and dedicated instructor, I know that she will be a beneficial addition to your institution.

Please feel free to contact me should you like to discuss her qualifications and my experiences with

her further. I’d be happy to expand on my recommendation.

Sincerely,

Yuheng Fu

Econ 1021 - Introduction to Macroeconomics Summer 2015

(July 13th - Aug 13th) Instructor:  Yinghong  Zhang    [email protected]    

 Class  :  MTWRF  1:00pm  -­‐  2:45pm,  TBD    

Office  :  Seigle  Hall  358    

Office  Hours  :  By  Appointment    

Textbook  (optional):  Mankiw,  Gregory  N.  (2015)  Principles  of  Macroeconomics,  7,  

Mason,  OH:  South-­‐  Western  Cengage  Learning.    

 

 Course  Description:    

The  goal  of  this  course  is  to  provide  an  understanding  of  economic  thinking  as  well  

as  the  key  issues  faced  by  macroeconomists.  We  will  cover  topics  such  as  growth,  

trades,  inflation,  unemployment,  the  great  recession,  etc.  The  course  will  also  

provide  analytic  tools,  which  can  be  utilized  to  study  how  monetary  and  fiscal  policy  

can  be  used  to  address  these  issues.    

 

Class Notes, Book Reference, and Additional Problem Sets

The textbook is optional for this class but I will follow it closely so it can be a

good reference if you prefer having a book in your hand. I will post the slides on

blackboard with additional notes if available for each topic. On blackboard you

will also find additional articles/readings and “extra” problem sets that will not be

graded but are suppose to give you more practice on the material. Occasionally,

we will discuss some questions during review session or in class if necessary.

If we do not fall behind on schedule, we might be able to discuss more specific

topics of interest related to macroeconomics. Please email me if you have a

specific topic you would want to know more about, and I will try to accommodate

as long as time permits and the topic is agreed upon by the entire class.

Grading:    

• 2  problem  sets  (15%  each)    

Problem  sets  will  be  due  in  the  beginning  of  the  class.  Late  submissions  will  not  be  

accepted  and  will  result  in  a  grade  of  zero.  You  are  allowed  to  work  together  but  

must  submit  your  own  work.  

•  2  mid-­‐term  exams  (20%  each)    

• final  exam  (30%).    

• Extra  credit  (will  be  discussed  later  in  the  course)  

The  due  dates  for  problem  sets  will  be  determined  in  class.  The  midterm  exams  and  

final  exam  are  tentatively  scheduled  on  7/21  and  7/31  and  8/13.    

Only  university-­‐approved  excuses  will  be  accepted  for  missing  an  exam,  and  it  is  

your  responsibility  to  notify  me  before  an  exam  (the  sooner,  the  better)  if  you  are  

going  to  miss  it;  otherwise  the  corresponding  grade  will  be  recorded  as  a  zero.  If  you  

notify  me  beforehand  with  an  acceptable  excuse,  then  your  final  course  grade  will  be  

appropriately  re-­‐weighted.    

If  you  are  taking  this  course  P/F  or  CR/NCR,  you  must  receive  a  C  or  better  to  

receive  a  P  or  CR.    

 

Academic  Integrity:    

The  quizzes  and  exams  are  to  be  your  own  work.  As  such,  evidence  to  the  contrary  

will  result,  initially,  in  a  failing  grade  on  the  exam,  and  immediate  academic  

disciplinary  action.  If  you  ever  feel  that  these  standards  of  academic  integrity  are  

not  being  met,  please  notify  an  undergraduate  advisor  or  me  immediately.  If  you  are

Group Discussion 3 Generation JoblessThese questions should help guide you in understanding the material and arti-cle distributed in class, especially on the different types of unemployment andtheir causes. Feel free to incorporate your own opinion when answering thesequestions.

1. Recall how the BLS has divided the population. Are the “NEETS” partof the employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force?

2. What does the employment rate tell you about the length of the job con-tract in which you are employed? For example, full time, part-time, tem-porary, permanent, etc.

3. If more young people are unemployed because of the economic recession,what type of unemployment is this?

4. The article mentioned that the second reason why young people are inac-tive is because places where population of young people grows the fastesthave the worst-run labor markets. I am not sure what the economist meantby “worst-run” labor markets. What do you think it possibly means? Andwhat type of unemployment can it cause?

5. Can you find evidence in the article of instances where discouraged workersare present i the economy?

6. How can low growth affect employment? What type of unemploymenthave you just described?

7. Give an example from the article of job mismatch and how has economiestry to reduce mismatch and educational gaps. What kind of unemploy-ment is this?

8. Can technology destroy employment or increase employment? What isyour reasoning?

These questions should help guide you in understanding the material and article, especially on the different types of unemployment and their causes. Feel free to incorporate your own opinion when answering these questions.

1. Recall how the BLS has divided the population. Are the “NEETS” part of the employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force?

3. If more young people are unemployed because of the economic recession, what type of unemployment is this?

4. The article mentioned that the second reason why young people are inactive is because places where population of young people grows the fastest have the worst-run labor markets. I am not sure what the economist meant by “worst-run” labor markets. What do you think it possibly means? And what type of unemployment can it cause?

5. Can you find evidence in the article of instances where discouraged workers are present in the economy?

6. How can low growth affect employment? What type of unemployment have you just described?

Is there something important about the section not covered by these questions?

In terms of Yinghong, the only reason I answered 4 for all is because I don't know who this TA is and have never interacted/seen this TA. I'm sure she did an excellent job, but I just cannot comment.
