Research Focus
My postdoc research project centers on studying the transition in instruction from high school to college STEM classes. I am working with faculty member Michelle Smith in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department along with collaborators at two other universities to study the predictions and expectations students have about instructional practices upon entering large introductory college STEM classes. We are also working with faculty through the Provost’s Gateway Course Data working group to learn how to help faculty better support students during this key transition time.
