My teaching experiences include being a guest lecturer in a neuroscience course and an instructor for a microbiology short summer course. Below I have summarized my experiences and my roles in each one of them.
Introduction to Microbiology
Vetward Bound Enrichment Summer Program (http://cvm.msu.edu/about/diversity/enrichment-summer-program)
College of Veterinary Medicine
http://cvm.msu.edu/about/diversity/enrichment-summer-program
Instructor- Summer 2012- Summer 2015
This course introduced students to the structure of prokaryotes, microbial growth, control of microbial growth, microbial mechanisms of pathogenicity, and microorganisms of veterinary importance. It is an 8 lecture undergraduate level based course given to student’s participants in the Vetward Bound Enrichment Summer Program. There are 30 – 40 students each summer. The students are undergraduates or recent graduates that are interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine.
I got offered the opportunity to teach this course and the only material provided were the previous lecture notes. The notes were very disorganized and some of the material was irrelevant. Thus, I researched curriculums of veterinary medicine microbiology courses as well as the core concepts that should be taught in an introductory microbiology course and developed a curriculum for the course as well as all the lectures given in the course. I developed a diagnostic test to evaluate the students’ knowledge before the course starts and once the course has finished. The diagnostic test was given by the program coordinators and the results were sent to me. I gave and graded the quizzes and presentations for the course.

PHM 480: Neurobiology of Disease
This course introduced the basis of neurological diseases. It is an undergraduate level course and has usually enrolled 8-10 senior students.
I had the opportunity to be a guest lecturer for this course in three different years (2012-2013; 2015). I lectured on topics including Lyme disease, microbial meningitis, prion disease, and Creutzfeldt Jakob disease.
Lecture: Creutzfeldt Jakob disease: An infectious disease of the nervous system, December 2013.
Lecture: Infectious diseases: Lyme disease and bacterial meningitis, December 2012 and December 2015
ISE870: Teaching College Science
This course is a graduate level course focused on the concepts of how students learn, teaching styles and practice of these. There is an enrollment of 6-10 students. I had the opportunity to present three short lectures and get feedback from peers that allowed me to improve the structure and the delivery of the material. I also developed a curriculum for an existing course, Introduction to Microbiology MMG301.
