TEACHING SUMMARY

I teach plant biology, genetics and molecular lab courses for the OSU-Tulsa campus. My personal goal as a teacher has always been to inspire students to have that desire to learn and be actively engaged in their own learning process. To follow this goal, I am always learning new techniques and how to apply them to my classroom. Even the course I teach almost every semester (General Genetics) is ever evolving to help my students learn.
