Jeremy Cohen

PhD candidate Jeremy Cohen is a dedicated and innovative educator in the Faculty of Health. One student highlighted Jeremy's unique approach to classroom activities: "This was something I had never seen in a university class before -- it made asking questions way less intimidating," referring to Jeremy's use of the discussion-based strategy known as the "snowball fight." 

Another student noted Jeremy's ability to create an engaging and insightful classroom environment: "By consistently asking thought-provoking questions throughout his lectures, he fostered an interactive learning environment that kept students engaged and actively thinking."

A faculty member commended Jeremy's foresight and clarity in assessments, which "used clear rubrics and were able to anticipate many of the roadblocks the students would be running into in the course assessments."
