Introduction to Genetics
In this 6-week course, we will discuss basic Mendelian Genetics, including information on how to carry out simple genetic crosses, monohybrid, and dihybrid crosses.
Class Experience
Students will learn about basic Genetics and carry out simple crosses during this course. The topics will include carrying out monohybrid and dihybrid crosses. The class will use both presentations and videos. I use a teaching style that engages learners by using well-thought-out questions. The learners can interact with content through short videos and simulations. Learners will be asked to make short presentations as part of their project for the course. The lesson encourages learners to...
Students will increase their understanding of Mendelian Genetics by carrying out monohybrid and dihybrid crosses to determine Genotype and phenotype ratios for F-1 generation.
I am a board certified New Jersey Biology teacher with adequate training and expertise to teach high school Biology. I have bachelors degree in Biology, a masters in Science Education and a PhD in educational leadership. In addition, I have over five years experience working in drug discovery and development. I am currently involved in research studies to improve curriculum in the area of Humane Genetics. During the study of Genetics, we will discuss Genetic disorders which may be sensitive to students. I have sufficient training on how to teach these topics in a manner that is inclusive and respectful of students that may be affected by a genetic disorder. As a parent of a special needs child, I know the importance of being sensitive to learners that may have a disability that may be a result of Genetics.
