Melissa Roach
completed a B.Sc (Biology) at the University of Alberta
and is currently working on a Ph.D. (Biology). Melissa
spent three years as a TA in Intro Cell Biology –
both in the lab and in workshops. She also has experience
teaching Intro Botany labs. Melissa is adept at identifying
common problems you encounter in learning the material
and giving you strategies to overcome these problems.
Melissa’s teaching philosophy is to build a culture
of trust in the classroom, so you feel comfortable enough
to assess your own understanding of the material and to
ask the key questions you need to ask in order to master
the material.
