Instructor of Physics

Taught undergraduate courses in environmental physics, solar system astronomy, and stellar/galactic astronomy while integrating research-backed active teaching methods.

Overview

At Georgia Southern University, I designed and taught several undergraduate courses in physics and astronomy. These courses covered a broad range of topics, including environmental physics, solar system astronomy, stellar and galactic astronomy, and physics. I also designed and led practical laboratory sessions and observatory sessions for students, providing them with hands-on experience to complement their theoretical learning.

Key Responsibilities:

• Designed and taught undergraduate courses in environmental physics, solar system astronomy, and stellar/galactic astronomy
• Led practical laboratory and observatory sessions, where students conducted experiments and made astronomical observations
• Applied active teaching methods, including studio physics, to engage students in problem-solving and critical thinking
• Graded assignments, provided feedback, and assessed student progress

Impact:

This experience allowed me to actively engage students with a range of physical science concepts and helped them build a strong foundational understanding of the physical universe. My use of active learning strategies facilitated student engagement and practical application of theoretical knowledge.
