Bio:
Daniel King is an Associate Professor in the Chemistry Department. His research is in the field of chemical education research, with a focus on the assessment of active learning approaches, the use of technology to improve student learning and the incorporation of real-world context into the chemistry curriculum. He is particularly interested in understanding what resources students use and which resources are most effective. He is an active participant in the chemical education research community, having served as the Secretary of the American Chemical Society Division of Chemical Education and currently serving as a member of the American Chemical Society Committee on Education.
His teaching includes general chemistry (for chemistry and science majors) and environmental chemistry. He is focused on actively engaging students in the classroom, using personal response devices and inquiry-based activities. His goal is to create a learning environment where students feel comfortable. While he has won two campus teaching awards, he is always looking to learn new pedagogical approaches and works closely with CASTLE and the Drexel TLC to promote the adoption of evidence-based teaching.
