Emily Bruggeman
'Super TA' helps develop new Chem 109 curriculum
How do you make sure a newly designed undergraduate curriculum for your most-popular course will work and meet its objectives? You have your super undergraduate TA take a look at it. It worked for the Department of Chemistry who called on "Super TA" Emily Bruggeman to write Powerpoints and teaching aids for newly overhauled Chemistry 109.
Bruggeman, who graduated in December with chemistry major, has her eyes on a physician's assistant degree. But she has been an undergraduate teaching assistant since her junior year and has loved every minute of it. Read more about the new curriculum on Today@UNL.
