My goal as a teacher is to develop a relationship with each student to create a learning environment where students develop the confidence and ability to approach topics in science and technology with mathematical thinking and proper communication of results.

I am an MAA Project NExT Gold Dot.

In Spring 2017 and Spring 2019 I taught PIC Math courses.

What students say:

• ”… the only professor I know who’ll embed a Simpsons gif into his Jupyter notebooks.”
• “Class was fun to go to. Math is not a subject that I would call my ‘favorite’ but this is a class that I always enjoyed going to.”
• “Such a great teacher. I learned more than I thought I would.”
• “The availability of Dr. S to the students was by far the best I have experienced in my university experience. My success was based in his willingness to help.”
• “Dr. Skorczewski went out of his way to make time for his students outside of regular class hours and office hours. This was a saving grace for many of us in the class. [He] made sure that no one was left behind. Until now, I’ve honestly never had a math class where I could say we covered all of the material or even that I understood most of it. He may be a research professor, but he’s a damned fine lecturer too.”
• ”… was always willing to help students and highly encouraged any questions in class. He also worked hard to get to know his students and it improved the overall environment of the class.”
• “His lectures were very good; it is hard to make a 2 hour math lecture enthralling, but somehow Professor Skorczewski did it.”
• “This course was very well organized and relevant to what I would like to do with my career,… it really helped to remind me why I love math in the first place.”
• “I just wanted to say thank you for being active as a teacher through this 8 week course. Being an online student is miserable and it’s a breath of fresh air to have an active teacher engaged and respond as quick as you do.”
