杰出的教师
斯科特·富兰克林
Professor of Biology, 2012 Faculty Mentor of the Year in Undergraduate 研究
"I like the combination of 教学 和 research here," says UNC 生物学 professor 斯科特·富兰克林. "I love to work with students 和 love to bring what we do with research 走进教室. 它使我成为一个更好的老师."
富兰克林 和 his students conduct field studies on Colorado ecosystems that have been affected by flood, fire 和 man-made disturbances such as oil drilling.
Undergraduates have played an extensive role in 富兰克林’s research, helping him gather reams of data about the adaptations 和 resilience of affected forests.
"Philosophically, I believe in the way UNC does things," says 富兰克林. “我们有我们的 教师讲授几乎所有高年级的实验室. 因为和老师的互动， 本科生有很多研究潜力. 有非常高质量的教师 在这里做着伟大的研究和教学."
The combination of research 和 教学 makes UNC unique, 富兰克林 adds. 的机会 to bring research 走进教室 和 apply cutting-edge 教学 methods is one 这位前富布赖特学者2008年来到博天堂官方的原因.
