Date & Time: Nov 5 2019 | 11am Location: Chemistry Building, Room 400 Acknowledging the limitations of traditional curricula and pedagogy, this seminar will describe the process of designing a new four-year curriculum at Emory University. The major goals of this reform effort include an emphasis on core ideas and scientific practices rather than content and historical course boundaries in order to convey the excitement, relevance, and interdisciplinary nature of 21st century chemistry to undergraduate students. Unexpected rewards, challenges, and new opportunities have emerged as both departmental and institutional cultures have incrementally shifted to catalyze new conversations and target new goals for undergraduate STEM education. Type of Event: Departmental Colloquium Tracy McGill Department: Department of Chemistry Emory University
