TEACHING

Biomechanics class hunted apple snails to test material properties of shells (Spring 2023)

Dr. Kane has taught several courses, since her start as a professor in 2017. The goal is always to provide intellectually stimulating lectures, relevant experiences that help connect the material to students' lives outside of school, and opportunities to learn material in a variety of ways. Another significant goal is introducing students to local natural history and biologically-relevant issues.

For the courses below, the designation '*' indicates courses taught currently. Courses are ordered by their academic level.
