Teaching

  • I have taught undergraduate and masters level courses in operations management at the University of Cambridge and McGill University

  • I have developed a unique course that combines traditional project management with risk management for McGill University. The delivery of the course includes simulations, group projects, and guest seminars from leaders in the field.

  • I am developing an introductory data analytics course for McGill University intended to be “art appreciation” but for data analytics. The course is case-led and will provide students with the knowledge to use data analytics to make critical business decisions, whilst avoiding pitfalls. The innovation of this course is to teach data analytics without teaching coding, making it accessible to a wider audience and replicating the real life scenarios many managers will find themselves in.

  • I teach McGill University’s introductory business statistics course and am presently restructuring the course around excel and programming applications of the content.

Teaching Example

Operations Management Statistical Process Control

This is a class I gave to my BCom Operations Management students in 2023 as part of their core course on OM. In the previous class, we had played a simple game to show how process variation effects everything, including the number of Smarties in a tube!

We then review that exercise here, watch a video from inside the factory to see where the variation was coming from, and introduce techniques for process control. I explain X-bar charts, R charts, and P-charts.

Teaching Masters students at the University of Cambridge

“Rob is a great supervisor! He's very good at explaining things, he's clearly very passionate and knowledgable about the wider topic and always has good suggestions for furthering our understanding. He's also very good at engaging everyone in the supervision, so that you come out of the supervision feeling it was time well spent.”
