LEARNING & TEACHING SUMMARy
Caroline's teaching showcases an innovative and integrated approach in Histology, Histo-pathology, Physiology and Pathophysiology, which offers a transformative educational journey into the complexities of living tissues and disease processes.
In her role, Caroline's teaching is designed to advance students' knowledge systematically. She effectively bridges the foundational knowledge on normal structure and function relationships in living tissues in DVM1 with the advanced concepts of pathology at the DVM2 level where patho-histological and pathophysiological concepts are explored.
Her pedagogical strategy transcends traditional rote memorization tactics, steering students towards a more engaging and comprehensive learning approach. This methodology not only facilitates deep learning but also equips students with critical analytical skills necessary for understanding complex biological systems and not just the 'what' but the 'why' behind disorders and disease processes.
