Jessica Kalra has completed a B.Sc. (Honours)
and is finishing an M.Sc. in Cell Biology. In January 2005, Jessica will
start working on a Ph.D. in Advanced Therapeutics. Having been a Teaching
Assistant in Biology 22/23 for two years and an active participant in
educational outcomes research, Jessica has developed an effective teaching
style designed to identify areas where students struggle and the best
ways to help overcome these obstacles. Jessica believes that students
should be involved in their own learning. Jessica's teaching style is
very interactive and her Prep Sessions will be fun and positive experiences.
