Teaching Philosophy
In my course, students will be given ample opportunity to practice what they know and are able to do by engaging with evidence-based assessments structured to elicit ideas about chemistry. We know that knowledge cannot be directly transferred from instructor to the student rather, it is co-constructed over time in a collaborative effort. We are in this together as a team! From this perspective, my goal in teaching is not to replace students’ incorrect ideas but rather, create opportunities for you to be creative and use your knowledge in new and possibly unfamiliar areas of chemistry!
