STEM education consulting services are available on projects of any size, from the development of a single module for a course to the development of a new curriculum and from the assessment of a single faculty member’s teaching to the evaluation of an entire department. If you are interested in discussing a project or have questions, please contact me.
Current projects include:
- Partnering with Almy Education to improve introductory STEM courses and add corequisite remediation via the Ohio Strong Start to Science initiative
- Partnering with the Computing Talent Initiative (CTI) and the UR2PHD program to develop and teach an online asynchronous course introducing computer science students to research
