I have served in a range of instructional roles at the University of Wisconsin–Stout, where I have contributed to both mathematics and physics education. My teaching experience includes:
Across all these roles, I’ve prioritized active learning, conceptual understanding, and student engagement. My experience reflects a strong commitment to inclusive and effective STEM education.
My approach to teaching mathematics is grounded in the belief that students learn best when they feel respected, supported, and challenged. I recognize that every student brings a different background, set of experiences, and way of thinking to the classroom. What came easily to me might not for them, and vice versa. That’s why I aim to meet students where they are, without assumptions, and build from there.
I’ve worked with students across the spectrum, from those rebuilding foundational skills in developmental algebra to those tackling advanced topics in math and physics. Across all levels, I focus on helping students understand the ideas behind the procedures, and I work to connect concepts to their future academic or professional work. My interdisciplinary background in math, physics, computer science, and engineering helps me show students how what they’re learning now will show up again later.
I’m also interested in helping students engage with mathematics beyond formulas. As a student, I found writing assignments incredibly valuable in clarifying my understanding. While I haven’t yet implemented them in my own courses, I hope to incorporate similar writing-based projects to encourage reflection, communication, and deeper learning.
Ultimately, my goal is to help students develop confidence, clarity, and curiosity in their approach to mathematics, skills that serve them long after the course ends.
"I thought that Mr. Royce did an excellent job of teaching this math course. He always offered help when needed and made classes more understandable."
"I think that his enthusiasm definitely kept me interested in the course and the copious amounts of examples went through in class helped solidify the topics for me."
"One of the best math teachers that I have ever had. I enjoyed this class alot!"
"I thought that he did a great job with being available for questions and help. He also made coming to class enjoyable. It was never boring to listen to his lectures."
"I thoroughly enjoyed this math course. I found it to be very easy to learn the content through the multiple resources we were offered by the professor. He was enthusiastic about the material making the class more welcoming. I felt it was easy to ask and answer questions throughout the class. I would recommend Professor Royce to any student."
"Mr. Royce is a very good professor and person. He is very helpful and he understands his students and wants to see them succeed."
"He is very good at answering questions and extremely helpful."
"Your teaching methods never fell short, even when I was lost there was always a method brought out to the point where I could move forward. I am really happy you are in this setting for the soul fact of your enthusiasm when it comes to teaching, that enthusiasm is memorable and made your course that much easier learn in. Keep it up, and I wish you the best of luck in your teaching career!"
"Noah is helpful and kind, he really helps to help you work through any confusion."
"Noah Royce is the best TA out there give him a hearty Christmas bonus he made me understand the content without feeling stupid and he just an overall nice person."
"Noah helped me learn to love math again."
"Thank you so much for all you have taught me the past three weeks. You have helped me become both a better coder and a better data scientist overall. You helped me create a project that I am proud of."
"Noah has been incredibly helpful to me and my project. He is always willing to assist, research, and answer any questions I have. His background in math has been a tremendous asset, and my project wouldn’t be as strong without his support."
"Thank you for motivating me to going and keep pushing to succeed in this class even when I felt like I was accomplishing nothing"
