I am primarily interested in helping students actively learn about the social, historical and cultural impacts of plant diseases on our global society.
Students seem to learn more and have deeper understandings when actively engaged in the subject.
The traditional lecture method is minimized and student centered learning methods are preferred which help students develop critical thinking skills, enhance learning and make the class much more relevant and enjoyable. One of my other enjoyable responsibilities is to serve as a contact for the Plant Health Management major . Research Area Dr. Curtis's main area of research is in the physiology of disease and abiotic stress. This report is based on the belief that there must be greater professional and personal attention to relationships among our multifactorial stakeholder society. New online publication.
