Professor Lieberman piloted project-based versions of our algebra skills courses (with Professors Echeverria and Ellis) which have dramatically improved pass rates.  She revised  a sequence of courses intended for students in non-STEM majors that doubled the number of students enrolled in the course, allowing them to satisfy their quantitative reasoning requirement and shorten their time to degree.  Finally, she has been deeply involved in improving the university’s courses  for future elementary and middle school teachers in mathematics, which helps the next generation of students as well.
