MCE Courses for Non-Degree Students


 

What do the MCE graduates say about their courses? Below are comments taken from the Follow-Up Study of MCE Cohorts 1 - 5:

Many of the professors modeled their pedagogy.  Inorganic was low-tech in the demonstration examples.  Organic showed me how to use concept maps critically and also elicit feedback from students…

Biochemistry [was helpful because of its] use of projects in teaching and practice [it gave me in] making new lesson plans.”

I think I took something from every class -- from how [inquiry was] modeled, to the use of groups, to the use of technology, to what not to do...”

The experimental lab chemistry [Chem 502] asked the relevant questions of what was happening within the lab experiment. The general and inorganic chemistry [courses] broadened my base knowledge and taught me to seriously look at the chemistry in a 3-D perspective…”

“Use of POGIL in [General & Organic Chem] effectively demonstrated the advantages (and drawbacks) of this particular teaching technique…”

“The environmental chemistry is useful when dealing with global warming and pollution.  My students can understand why these things happen, because I am better educated on the topic…”
