Erin Easlon

I am the Academic Coordinator and an Instructor for the Introductory Biology Course BIS-2A.  I am responsible for all aspects of the course discussion section development: coordination, administration, instructional training, TA hiring, and supervision.  I also create course materials as well as administer, collect and present education research data.

Courses

• BIS-2A, Introduction to Biology: Essentials of Life on Earth
