...Recently during lab, I gave students in-class activities to demonstrate genetics and natural selection through the assessment of physical traits (e.g., PTC tasting, tongue-rolling, stature) of the human body and recording the expression of these traits among the class. This activity is very effective for stimulating excitement about the material and for bridging knowledge. I further strive to cultivate critical thinking and logic skills. In my upper-level discussion based course (Women, Culture, and Development), I...
