17 March 2015

The Tombros Fellows Program is intended to encourage and foster the development and implementation of innovative teaching methodologies, assessment techniques, and new courses in the Eberly College of Science.

Dr. Kari Lock-Morgan, assistant professor of statistics, is initiating a project that focuses on the transformation of Introduction to Biostatistics (STAT 250) using a simulation methods approach to introduce real data from biology and medicine in lecture, lab, homework, and exams. Dr. Lock-Morgan is currently testing a version of this new curriculum in the Spring 2015 semester with 250 students.

Kari will serve as members of the CESE Advisory Board over the next two years and will share the progress of these exciting projects during the Spring 2016 CESE seminar series.
