Biology has the well-earned reputation for being a hard subject. My goal is to make Biology understandable, relevant, and fascinating. Student comments and my course evaluations indicate that many students love my courses and that my teaching approaches were key to their learning. My teaching approaches include: • Making my learning goals for the students clear in the syllabus and on the first day of class and reminding students of those goals throughout the semester. • Preparing outlines for each class session: organize the material for that day, provide some illustrations, pose questions, include problems that we will work on in class, and leave lots of room for note taking. • Using a variety of presentation tools during class: work problems, PowerPoint slides, online movies.
