Master Class in Teaching Math Modeling (for Life Sciences)
Czocher, Jennifer A
Dear members and friends of RUME,
I am delighted to invite you and members of your department to a super cool workshop this summer:
Master Class in Teaching Math Modeling for Life Sciences
23 – 28, June 2023
Hosted by the Department of Mathematics at Harvard University.
The workshop is designed for faculty members interested in launching a new life science modeling course that would be an alternative to calculus within the next couple of years. You or your calc-teaching colleagues that you pass this notice on to will learn to use modern computational tools to teach calc in a rigorous, modeling-centric way (e.g., Jupyter notebooks), develop your syllabus for a new modeling course to fit your own institutional context, dig into student thinking by looking at student work on assessments, and observe students building the concepts by watching colleagues teach Mathematical Modeling course at Harvard’s Summer School (more info on HSS: https://summer.harvard.edu/)
Please pass this note along to anyone you might know who would be interested, but space is limited, as is funding, so please get your app materials submitted by April 15th!
You can contact myself (Jennifer Czocher, czoc...@txstate.edu) or the other excellent organizers Brendan Kelly (brenda...@g.harvard.edu) and Alan Garfinkel (agarfin...@gmail.com) for further information.
Hope to see you (or your lovely colleagues) there,
Jennifer
