Teaching

I taught Organic Chemistry courses for Chemistry, Pharmacy, Biomedical, Biology, Food & Nutrition, Home Economics, and Nursing students.

I was teaching advanced organic courses and a Photochemistry course for Senior Year Chemistry Students.

Innovation Methods & Active learning strategy in Teaching:

  • Used PowerPoint presentations,
  • ball & Stick Models,
  • Socrative teacher and Flashcards technique.
  • Proficient with the use of BlackBoard 9.1.
  • Use of videos
  • Group work activities
  • Poster & paper presentations
  • Writing a term paper
  • Using QR code

Teaching Duties:
