Goals for students
In my courses, I want students to be able to walk away with several sharpened skills and competencies that they can apply to both scientific and non-scientific aspects. From the very beginning of my class meetings, I clearly lay out their learning objectives based on the principles of Bloom’s Taxonomy, and the big picture concepts they should master. I encourage them to use the problem-solving skills they improved on in class in real-world situations whether that is in the laboratory, in an office, or even when having a conversation with stubborn family members who discredit scientific evidence. Students should be able to identify common misconceptions that they, and others may have about the world around them and to be able to logically provide evidence against those claims. I also hope to continue to convey the value of collaboration and how fruitful working in groups can be to achieving a common goal.
