Episode Notes
Today our guest is Dr. Mojgan Parizi-Robinson, senior lecturer and director of the Learning Assistants program in Biology at Baylor University. Dr. Parizi-Robinson’s research focuses on intracellular signaling and pathways in wound healing and cancer. In addition to teaching human anatomy lecture and lab courses, she teaches a pedagogy course for biology learning assistants. This year (2022), Dr. Parizi-Robinson was the recipient of the Collins Outstanding Professor award. We are delighted to have Dr. Parizi-Robinson on the show to discuss the role of struggle in learning, flipping her course, and teaching undergrads to help other students learn.
