What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Student class work, lab reports, and papers — evaluate and grade consistently across undergraduate and graduate courses, providing constructive written feedback aligned with learning objectives.
  • Lectures on specialized topics such as molecular biology or marine biology — prepare and deliver independently to undergraduate and graduate audiences, adjusting depth based on course level.
  • Laboratory exercises — supervise student work in an active university lab setting, troubleshooting procedural issues and enforcing safety standards with reduced oversight.
  • Course materials including syllabi and assignment sequences — develop and refine for assigned sections, incorporating current disciplinary content and department learning outcomes.
  • Classroom discussions on complex biological phenomena — initiate and moderate, using social perceptiveness to gauge comprehension and redirect conversation productively.
  • Professional literature, conferences, and collegial networks — engage routinely to integrate emerging findings from biology and chemistry into course content.
  • Curriculum components — evaluate and propose revisions to a program coordinator, applying evidence-based instructional strategies informed by learning science.
  • Student records and institutional reporting requirements — manage independently using database and calendar software, meeting all administrative deadlines.
  • Inductive and deductive reasoning — apply when designing problem-based assessments that challenge students to connect biological theory to experimental data.
  • Geographic information systems and graphics software — incorporate into course materials and lectures to illustrate spatial and visual biological concepts to diverse student groups.
