Today’s podcast features my conversation with Augustana University's own Dr. Neil Haave and Dr. Brian Rempel.
Dr. Haave earned his (PhD, University of British Columbia) and has been teaching molecular cell biology and biochemistry at the Augustana Campus since 1990 where he served as Chair of Science and Associate Dean.
Neil is a recipient of the Rutherford Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, a McCalla Professorship, and Augustana's Teaching Leadership Award and Teaching Faculty Award for the Support of Information Literacy.
His research interests include the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) with publications on biology curricula, e-portfolios, and undergraduate research
Brian too earned his PhD at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver investigations of fluorinated sugars as potential diagnostic and therapeutic agents in the treatment of Gauchers disease and Mucopolysaccharidosis I.
I have observed both men to be excellent educators and academics. In our conversation today we discuss the nature of what science is, how to teach really hard things, team based learning and what we as teachers can do to get students better equipped for the real world. I hope you enjoy the program.
