Courses

These are descriptions of the formal courses relating to Teaching and Learning that I have taken since I started my PhD program (Michigan State University).
​
The additional courses that I took when I was getting a Bachelor's Degree in Education (2008, Goa University, India) are also listed below.

​College Student Cognition in Science

ISE 820, Fall 2016 with Dr. Julie Libarkin

​This course had both theoretical and practical aspects. We discussed learning theories, methodologies of research and analysis. Additionally we also got hands on experience designing, completing and writing-up a research project.

An Introduction to Evidence-Based Undergraduate STEM Teaching

Fall 2015
​Online Course offered by The Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL), and taught by faculty from Vanderbilt University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Michigan State University, and Boston University.

During this course we learnt about best-practices in education and the research that supports these practices. We also had the opportunity to design a lesson using some of these best practices.

Introduction to Quantitative Methods in Education Research

TE 934, Spring 2016 with Dr. Amelia Gotwals

During the course we learnt to use quantitative methods to answer questions using big data sets. We ultimately had to use these skills to analyse data and write it up as a research paper.

Topics in Research on Teaching & Learning Science: Scientific Literacy

TE 936, Fall 2016 with Dr. Andy Anderson

​During the course we approached science education through the lens of scientific literacy. We discussed the definitions, debates surrounding, ways to develop and teach for scientific literacy.
