BRITTANY HARRIS | Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant
“Although her teaching and mentoring contributions already exceeded expectations, Brittany has also greatly improved the curriculum. For one experiment on plant growth that was not giving useful results, Brittany replaced it with another study on leaf adaptations that was far more useful and relevant to the students—and gave useful results too! She has made numerous improvements in almost every lab—totally of her own volition—a reflection of the kind of high achiever and team player that Brittany is.”
The UGS Excellence Award for Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant recognizes exceptional contributions made by a Graduate Teaching Assistant to the educational excellence of FIU. Faculty members are encouraged to nominate Graduate Teaching Assistants who exemplify outstanding teaching and mentoring.
