Emily Gismervig, Ph.D. (she/her/hers)
Teaching Professor
Dr. Emily Gismervig's work is primarily focused on the experience of UW Bothell's first year students. She teaches extensively in the precalculus and calculus sequences, creates free course materials, works on the directed self placement process and mentors colleagues who are teaching precalculus and calculus.

Teaching Interests
Dr. Gismervig enjoys working with students in moments of transition, especially first-year students in the introductory mathematics courses and students taking the intro to proofs course. She values active learning and frequently use a flipped class format to allow students to work on the material in class with the help of their peers and herself.
Research and Scholarship Interests
Dr. Gismervig worked with colleagues to develop the Directed Self-Placement instrument and continues to work on refining and assessing the placement process. She worked with colleagues to develop our stretch calculus sequence, where Calculus I is taught over two quarters with just-in-time review incorporated throughout the course. Gismervig also work to develop free course materials for the introductory course materials. She has authored and co-authored workbooks for Precalculus II, Calculus I and Stretch Calculus.
