Congratulations to Jeremy Cohen, a PhD candidate in Kinesiology and Health Sciences, for receiving a 2025 Amit and Meena Chakma Award for Exceptional Teaching by a Student.
Cohen is a dedicated and innovative educator who takes unique approaches to classroom activities. One student highlighted how Cohen used the discussion-based strategy known as the "snowball fight." Another student noted his ability to create an engaging and insightful classroom environment. "By consistently asking thought-provoking questions throughout his lectures, he fostered an interactive learning environment that kept students engaged and actively thinking."
Faculty members have commended Cohen’s foresight and clarity in assessments, which "used clear rubrics and were able to anticipate many of the roadblocks the students would be running into in the course assessments."
Cohen's doctoral research investigates the regulation and determinants of venous blood flow.
