In my third year as a PhD trainee, I was asked to develop a two

week summer academy curriculum for high school students who

were interested in Biomedical Engineering. I received $8000 in

funding from the Engineering Faculty to organize this course. I

developed the curriculum by choosing topics and presentations that

would be appropriate and interesting to high school students

including: orthopaedic trauma, joint mechanics, biomaterials, joint


motion simulation and implant design. I recruited, trained and

supervised 10 graduate students to lecture and to execute related

labs. Teaching Assistant:

September 2011 BME 9599-Graduate Seminar




Primary organizer of a weekly seminar series in Department of

Biomedical Engineering for three consecutive years during my

PhD training. I organized and facilitated discussion for more

than 70 trainee research presentations. I also coordinated ‘town

hall’ department meetings and hosted up to 5 national and

international guest speakers each year. In addition to organizing

these events, I also administered all evaluations, summarized

their content and used these to make revisions to the seminar

series.

Instructor Evaluation_RA

1. How did the instructor help you to learn? What were the positive aspects of his/her teaching

style-the things he/she does or the ways he/she approaches his/her teaching-that you

appreciate? (well prepared, effective communicator, presented material at an appropriate

pace, set out clear objectives)

Dr. Lalone is an outstanding instructor. She taught me a biomechanics class, specifically, we were

learning about matrices in joint coordinate systems. She came very prepared; we each received a

stapled package of notes. There were many diagrams and spaces to add in our own calculations and

notes from class. Dr. Lalone is naturally very positive and energetic and these traits influence her

teaching style. Whether she was engaging the class in discussion, or using her own body as a 3D

coordinate system, there was never a dull moment and it was very easy to follow along.

During the class, she also pointed to each of the objectives given and presented us with examples of

potential exam problems. As well, throughout the class, we did practice questions to directly try to apply

the material she had just taught us. She made it clear that she was available for office hours after class if

things still weren’t clear.

2. What, if any, does the professor do that interferes with your learning? Are there aspects of

his/her style that you don’t appreciate as a student?

No. I was worried about the topic, because my experience with matrices in the past has not been that

positive. With my medical science background, I am used to professors standing in front of a lecture hall

of 400+ students, delivering their material for an hour and leaving. Dr. Lalone had a different approach -

I could tell she really wanted us to learn. She used different teaching methods and it made easy for me

to follow along and absorb the material.

3. In your opinion, what aspects of the instructors teaching would you say indicated that the

instructor demonstrated concern about whether the students were learning?

Closer to my final exam (months after her class), I was looking through the notes from class and found it

hard to read some of my notes I had scribbled in. Dr. Lalone was very enthusiastic to meet with me the

very next day. She sat with me for a full hour and made sure I could do every problem on my own, she

also showed me videos online to help my learning. In my whole undergraduate career, I have never had

a teacher that was so patient and thorough with explaining concepts to me 1-on-1.

4. Do you have any specific suggestions for improvement?

Different people in the class came from different backgrounds but I remember feeling a little

overwhelmed by the amount of material we covered in a two hour class. Perhaps, in the future, she

could provide us with some material or readings to do before class so the material is not entirely new.


That being said, I felt very comforted that she was available for extra-help whenever we needed. I am

very grateful to have been taught by Dr. Lalone, I would love to have her teach me again!
