After teaching high school chemistry for a year, I changed my mind about many theories I held for learning and teaching. I have experimented with different approaches to university-level teaching.
Every semester is a new research project, built upon the experiences of the previous semesters.
The result is that I learn a lot, but the students may not know how much I am learning. Many of the benefits come with new mistakes. Sometimes these new mistakes seem to overshadow the improvements. In all parts of the course, however, I greatly appreciate feedback and suggestions from members of the class. With all of the complexities of managing our lives and our natural resources practice is the best way to learn.
