B. CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
Developed computer aided instruction materials for undergraduate and graduate biopsychology courses including a software model of the human brain for use as an interactive computer graphics learning tool. Pilot tested these materials in both graduate and undergraduate courses and presented the results both within the University (Nov. 1985 Computer Science Spring Fair) and for a national conference of educators receiving grants of computer equipment from the IBM Corporation (Advanced Educational Programming Conference, San Diego, April 1986). Modified software to be used as a supplemental or required text and continued to use and develop this software in PSYC 606 a graduate course emphasizing human brain functional anatomy and clinical correlations. This software was also modified for PSYC 206, an undergraduate course concerning the biological basis of developmental processes.
Developed 500 Powerpoint lecture slides for use with video computer display technology for Introductory Psychology (PSYC100). Students can receive paper copies of slides as study aids and to facilitate note taking during lectures.
Developed course packets for HONR 279G, PSYC 206 (Developmental Biopsychology) and PSYC 606 which consist of original writings, drawings, study guides and study questions for use in these courses. Most recently I developed a set of web based tools using WebCT for PSYC 606, PSYC 206 and PSYC 402 (Physiological Psychology) including an HTML version of the brain model program, interactive quizzes and other material including course-based glossaries and notes.
Mentor for Ronald E. McNair Program for recruiting undergraduate minority scholars into science (summer of 1992). Served as mentor for REU (Research Experience for Undergraduate) Program, an NSF-sponsored program administered by the Zoology department aimed at recruiting undergraduate scholars into neuroscience (1991-present). Mentor for undergraduate honors students in Psychology (Paul Cohen, Steve Cayelli, David Airey, Stu Amateau, Mark Flasar, Steve Shea, Latrise Scott, Tova Benaderet) including one (Airey) who won an NSF predoctoral fellowship and one (Amateau) who received a Howard Hughes Undergraduate Research Fellowship under my mentorship. Mentor for Zoology Honors student (Micah Sickel) who won a Hughes Undergraduate Fellowship and later was admitted to the MD/PhD program at Univ. of Md.
