Past Teaching

 

Dr. Ulrich has experience teaching undergraduate and graduate courses. From this underlying philosophy flows her attitude towards teaching: encouraging independent and analytical thought, promoting teamwork and shared learning, providing a balance between fundamental research and practical applications, and, most importantly, inspiring and motivating students in their quest for knowledge.
