Life Sciences Focus
Write a few short phrases describing the areas of life science that you focus on in your teaching.
640 characters remaining.Biomechanics, physiology, diagnostic tools, therapeutic modalities, biomedical research techniques. Expanding into the cellular and molecular realm
Education Research and Pedagogy Expertise
Write a few short phrases describing areas of education research or pedagogy where you have particular expertise that you could share with other users.
640 characters remaining.Project-based Learning, Competency Assessment, Tailoring curriculum to student interests and needs, Student-driven inquiry
Describe the courses that you teach for life sciences students
Write a short paragraph.
640 characters remaining.Physics for Life Sciences I & II sequence is algebra-based, integrated with lab activities, primarily serving pre-PT, pre-med, pre-vet, pre-dent, and clinical-track exercise science students. Physics of the Human Body is a conceptual one semester course primarily for occupational therapy assistant and performance-track exercise science students. Physics for the Biological Sciences I & II sequence is calculus-based integrated with lab activities, primarily serving biology majors and pre-med students.
What is your approach to teaching physics for life science students?
Write a short paragraph.
640 characters remaining.My goal is is enable students to be able to integrate physics into their future life/health science pursuits. Throughout the course, students practice using physics to enrich their understanding of their own self-selected life scenarios and phenomena
