Nicholas Zufelt
Instructor in Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science
Nick Zufelt focuses his teaching practice on cultivating a workshop feel in his classroom, where each student spends their time passionately honing their work and in doing so, their craft. He experiments often with his courses to discover effective new methods of teaching. In that way, and in his recent adventures learning 日本語 and homesteading, he’s still very much a student. Throughout the years, Nick has worked extensively with the Tang Institute, on both the ethi{CS} project and The Workshop.
