Davin Martin Richard Carter Teaching CV 2010 davincarter@mac.com Philosophy: Science is an experimental field, so it is only when students are in the lab that they really make the connection between theories taught in lectures and the science behind them. In that spirit, I work hard to make science labs exciting and dynamic by engaging students early and often. In the lab: Each lab, no matter how many times I've taught it, requires thoughtful calculated preparation in how best to convey the material to the class. I believe that both learning and teaching is an iterative process. More than just state the facts, I attempt to lay out the conceptual framework that leads to the facts and endeavor to present material in clear and logical manner providing real world context. Perhaps, most importantly, I try to instill my enthusiasm for chemistry in them. I characterize learning in my labs as in dynamic equilibrium, with ideas going back and forth. Engagement: I engage the students in several ways: during the first lab period I ask each of them what interests them, this helps me tailor the content to the class. I send weekly e-mails to my students answering any general questions and preparing them for the next lab. I created a Facebook group page for students to post questions and even post answers to their peer's questions. During the lab, I walk around asking each group questions about the theory and applications reinforcing the key points. Outside of the lab, I make myself available all week in my research lab by e-mail or Facebook TA Team: As part of a TA team made up of undergrad and graduate students managed by the Chemistry Lab manager, Judit Moldovan, I believe I have helped many fellow TA's. Whether is helping with a basic piece of chemistry, how to present material or hints about how to optimize an experiment, I have always been ready and willing to help. I encourage all TA's to advertise to their students the Facebook group I created to post and answer questions. I often got over 150 students sign up each semester, far more than the 40 students in my classes in the same period. Teacher Training: I have taken the time to participate in the many resources offered by Peter Arthur, Janine Hirtz and Heather Marshall of the Centre for Teaching and Learning as well as attending various teaching conferences. A great tool I learned from the CTL that I use every semester is to give my students the opportunity to submit drafts of their formal report that I review and offer feed forward on. While this involves significant extra work for me, the comments from students are overwhelmingly positive. Overall: I hope to provide the students destined to take more classes in science with a theoretical and practical foundation as well as pass on a flavour of the exciting field they are going into. For the others, I try to make their time memorable enough that they remember key concepts that will allow them to be scientifically literate in their futures.
