Rate My Professor Deborah King

King's research interests encompass mathematics education, topological mathematics, combinatorial dynamics, and pure mathematics. She led the FYiMaths project addressing challenges in first-year undergraduate mathematics and contributed to national efforts such as the project on developing a shared understanding of assessment criteria and standards for undergraduate mathematics. Her publications address critical areas including student misconceptions in algebra and functions, the effects of entry standards on teaching, flipped tutorials, learning analytics for personalized support, and graduate learning outcomes perceptions. Notable works include 'Undergraduate Mathematics Students' Understanding of the Concept of Function' (2014), 'The impact of assumed knowledge entry standards on undergraduate mathematics teaching in Australia' (2015, with J Cattlin), 'Flipping the maths tutorial: A tale of n departments' (2014, with K Seaton and C Sandison), 'Investigating students’ perceptions of graduate learning outcomes in mathematics' (2017, with C Varsavsky et al.), and 'The L(h,1,1)-labelling problem for trees' (2010, with C Ras and S Zhou). King received the David White Award for Teaching Excellence (2016) and a Citation for Outstanding Contributions from the Australian Awards for University Teaching (2016).
