When PLU science students returned to campus in fall 2022 they were in for a surprise. The previously outdated anatomy and physiology lab in the Rieke Science Center had been transformed into a cutting-edge learning facility, complete with best-of-its-kind educational technology, thanks to contributions from…
Clinical Learning and Simulation Center, and the second floor Open Lab, used for both chemistry and physics lab instruction, in the Rieke Science Center. “These renovations will have a significant impact on learning and research,” says Auman. “They will allow for more mobility and interaction between students and faculty, as well as more hands-on learning for students that will set them up for being better prepared for their careers in science and healthcare.” MEETING CAMPUS – AND COMMUNITY – NEEDS“The

When Matthew Conover ’19 was a student at PLU, he recalls someone telling him there were two types of software engineers: the ones who chose to chase the money, and the ones who had no other choice. “I fall into the latter camp,” Conover said.…
couple of topics on my resume like “blockchain” and “machine learning” which have absolutely helped me. My capstone project, a blockchain game engine, put me in a really good position when Wiser started on event sourcing since it meant I had the most experience in the concept. It was not why they hired me, but it came in very handy. I also benefited from the non-computer science courses I took at PLU. Physics, for instance, is an amazing way to learn problem solving. I find myself using many of the

How did you start down this particular path as an educator? I started with my physics students, creating lessons online on a learning management site and having them complete assignments within a window of time. This was great, because I knew students could take more ownership of their learning and self-manage their progress

secondary tutorial is otherwise similar to the primary tutorial: students research the week’s topic, write an essay, and discuss it with their tutor. What are suitable subjects for tutorials?IHON-Oxford students have completed tutorials in many different disciplines, from Physics to Biology to Forced Migration Studies to English Literature. However, the tutorial system is best suited to topics which involve research and writing: tutorials cannot replace PLU lab classes. Click here to see what kinds of
