Dr Shern Tee - The Other Side of the Lecture Theatre

Dr Shern Tee - The Other Side of the Lecture Theatre

What’s it like teaching mature students in the sciences?

We often have a view of students at university as teenagers fresh out of college, but many come to it later in life. To explore the reality of working with mature students, I am joined by Dr Shern Tee, a practical lecturer and computational electrochemist at Griffith University, Australia. We discuss what mature students bring to the lecture theatre and why teaching a diverse group of students benefits the groups.

Shern also shares how he uses technology in the lecture theatre and why he learns just as much from his students as they do from him. He discusses how aspiring mature chemists can start their journey into academia and how chemistry surrounds us in everyday life.
