Emily's Teaching
I currently am a Practicals Head TA for PHY 131F - Introduction to Physics I. The course is taught by Dr. Jason Harlow, and the practicals are managed by Dr. Carolyn Sealfon. Course information can be found on U of T Quercus.
I was part of the online development of PHY 131, and have been involved in the course since I began at U of T. I have participated in workshops for the Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE), and take an interest in phyiscs education initiatives.
One particular area of interest for me is the difference in training necessary for a future physicist and for another science-related field (for instance, medicine). I was trained at the University of British Columbia under Dr. Natasha Holmes' labs, and had a chance to be a teaching asssistant for them in my last year of undergraduate. I am also interested in the use of simulation technologies to improve student learning, and on principles of universal design in education.
My email inbox is always open to starting graduate students who would like to talk about physics education!
