Pedagogical Methods Used

Peer Instruction / Think-Pair-Share, Collaborative problem-solving, Conceptually-oriented activities, Ranking tasks, Project-based learning, Guided inquiry, SCALE-UP / studio / workshop physics, Experimentally-focused activities

Life Sciences Focus

Pre health

Education Research and Pedagogy Expertise

Active learning assessment development

Describe the courses that you teach for life sciences students

Physics for the life sciences I & II, Statistics for the health sciences

What is your approach to teaching physics for life science students?

Get to know what interests them (students) and look for Physics/Statistics in those areas of interests. Approach concepts conceptually with hands on activities and mathematical reasoning.
