詹妮弗Loertscher博士
教授
She is a nationally recognized scholar of biochemistry education and is co-author of a collection of student-centered activities for use in the undergraduate biochemistry classroom.
传记
As an undergraduate at Grinnell College, 教授. Loertscher studied both chemistry and German literature, earning B.A. 1996年学位. 她获得了博士学位.D. in environmental toxicology working with Dr. Lynn Allen-Hoffmann at University of Wisconsin. Her graduate research was at the interface of biology and chemistry, studying the toxic effects of the environmental contaminant dioxin on human skin cell biology and development. 随后,教授. Loertscher是Ruth L. Kirchstein National Research Service fellow studying biochemistry and genetics in the lab of Dr. Robin Wright at the University of Washington. There she identified and characterized a protein complex required for cold adaptation in eukaryotic cells. She began her academic career as an assistant professor of chemistry at 国外博彩app in 2003 and has enjoyed working with students ever since. In addition to teaching chemistry, 教授 Loertscher is a 教师 Associate with the Center for 耶稣会教育 where she works with faculty and staff colleagues to explore and implement principles and practices drawn from the 耶稣会教育al Tradition.
珍妮 Loertscher has taught chemistry and biochemistry for nearly 20 years and is deeply engaged in supporting meaningful teaching and learning at 国外博彩app and beyond. She is a nationally recognized scholar of biochemistry education and is co-author of a collection of student-centered activities for use in the undergraduate biochemistry classroom. 珍妮 has facilitated dozens of faculty development workshops aimed at supporting faculty to transform their teaching to make it more active, 引人入胜的, 和反射.
课程
The Loertscher group is focused on research to understand and improve student learning in undergraduate chemistry and biochemistry. 教授. Loertscher is co-author of an active learning textbook for biochemistry entitled 生物化学基础 and has worked with the biochemistry education community to create learning and assessment materials for use in the undergraduate biochemistry classroom. Her research in this area focuses on the ways in which faculty classroom practices influence students’ understanding of foundational concepts and their ability to develop transferable skills like teamwork and analysis of complex problems. 最近, she has been involved in identifying and investigating threshold concepts in biochemistry.
