Stearns Center for Teaching and Learning

After almost a year of teaching during a global pandemic, Mason professors said they’ve learned some valuable lessons on what works and what doesn’t with virtual teaching, and what their students need most from them.

Congratulations to Dr. Danielle Catona, Assistant Professor in the Department of Global and Community Health, for recently receiving a Stearns Center grant for implementing alternative assessment strategies. The grant will allow Catona to conduct research on alternative assessment strategies for GCH 380: Public Health Research Methods. GCH 380 is an important aspect of the college’s accredited MPH program, and Catona’s research will provide valuable insight on improving it.
