在博士. 罗兰-戈德史密斯为澳门威尼斯人app下载社区服务多年, she has been recognized as a leader in pedagogical innovation by her students and peers at 澳门威尼斯人app下载大学 (澳门威尼斯人app下载大学 Pedagogical Innovation Award 2018; 澳门威尼斯人app下载大学 Outstanding Senior 教学 Professorship Award 2016; Achievement Award for Excellence in 教学 2007 and 2014; 2015 Chapman Residence Life Most Inspiring Professor Award) and increasingly by the national science community (National Academies of Science Education Fellow in the Life Sciences 2011-12; National Academies of Science Education Mentor in the Life Sciences 2012-13; ASM Biology Scholars 研究 Residency 2014-15). 此外,博士. Rowland-Goldsmith has participated in several highly competitive teaching development workshops including the 2011 National Academies of Sciences Summer Institute; 2013 CREATE workshop; and 2014-15 ASM Biology Scholars 研究 Residency. 最后，她多次被要求复习分子生物学教科书中的精选章节.

通过她独特的教学风格, 她拥抱改变无数学生生活的机会，向他们介绍一种多样化和整体的方法来研究分子生物学. 她的许多学生的成果都是通过使用许多独特而特殊的教学方法来体现的. 一些以前的学生说，她的课程帮助他们为研究生或专业学校做准备. 她认为，她和学生们共同拥有自己的教育，她作为一名教练/促进者，确保他们获得作为成功的科学家和消费者所需要的知识. 一些最近学生评价的评论, 排名不分先后, include: “In-class activities were very helpful in making students think critically…”; “The most effective aspect would have to be the application of complicated processes in all quizzes and tests. 从来没有真/假这样简单的问题.”; “The most effective aspects of the course were the group/partner activities and class discussions where I was able to discuss and debate something to better my understanding of the subject”; and “The CREATE method was very helpful as far as breaking down and understanding academic writings.”

研究兴趣

Dr. 罗兰-戈德史密斯的研究兴趣集中在培养本科生利用分子生物学技术来研究胰腺癌在石榴提取物和咖啡因等各种药物治疗下的抑制和侵袭. 她还从事生物教育研究，为分子生物学学生创造更好的学习体验. 目前, 她正在高级分子遗传学课程中研究基于课程的本科生研究体验(CURE)的实验设计. 她还创造了独特的课堂批判性思维活动，可用于高年级分子遗传学课程.
