CHEM 3002 - ADVANCED LEARNING THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED STEM TEACHING


Minimum Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 1
This course consists of a MOOC offered by Coursera, jointly developed at Boston University, Vanderbilt, Michigan State and Wisconsin-Madison, combined with in-person class meetings of the local learning community at the University of Pittsburgh. Students will meet with the facilitator for the course, Dr. Mary Besterfield-Sacre, four times during the semester to go over the material in the online sessions, and to relate it to their teaching experiences in labs, discussions, and classrooms. The course will draw on the expertise of experienced stem faculty, educational researchers, and staff from University teaching centers, many of them affiliated with the center for the integration of research, teaching and learning (CIRTL), a network of 22 research universities collaborating in the preparation of stem graduate students and post-docs as future faculty members.
