Wheeler
Professor Lindsay Wheeler is a lecturer in the Chemistry Department and Assistant Director of STEM education innovations in the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE). Dr. Wheeler teaches STEM education and higher education courses in the Education School. She previously taught a 1-credit Teaching Methods in Higher Education for chemistry, physics, biology, and astronomy TAs, which will be transformed into asynchronous modular units for TAs to access and integrate into their teaching. She worked with Dr.
Welch
Professor Kevin Welch is interested in developing curricula for undergraduate instruction in general chemistry and organic chemistry. In particular, his focus is on updating these courses to accommodate the diverse educational background in chemistry of the students enrolling in chemistry at the University of Virginia, as well as providing a strong chemical foundation for the students as they continue on in their educational and post-educational careers in a variety of fields. In the past, he has taught undergraduate courses in general chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, en
Serbulea
Professor Serbulea is teaching organic chemistry courses, including the accelerated organic chemistry lectures and laboratories. She is actively involved in the development of the organic chemistry curriculum, focusing on improving the coordination between the topics in the lecture course and the experiments that are carried out in the laboratory. In the accelerated organic chemistry laboratories, students gain hands-on experience in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of organic compounds using modern analytical instruments and laboratory equipment.
Morkowchuk
Lisa Morkowchuk is an instructor for Introductory College Chemistry lecture (1410/1610) and laboratories (1411/1611). She received a B.S. in Chemistry from Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. Much of her undergraduate education was presented in a guided-inquiry format, and she quickly realized the value of peer interaction in education and the depth of understanding that comes from inquiry-based learning.
