Undergraduate Learning Assistants and Graduate Teaching Assistants

I'm Sydney, a junior majoring in human biology. I plan on attending medical school upon graduation. I'm super passionate about biology and very excited to have this opportunity to be a ULA for one of my favorite classes, BS171!

Taking BS161 was such an eye-opening experience into a whole new world of biology for me. Having the opportunity to now be an undergraduate learning assistant for the same class a year later is truly a full circle moment that I could’ve never been more grateful for.

This is my third semester as an Undergraduate Learning Assistant (ULA) for BS161 at Michigan State University. I enjoy helping students build confidence in biology and supporting them throughout their course experience.

Jordan Clemens is an undergraduate student at Michigan State University pursuing a B.S. in Zoology with a concentration in Ecological, Evolutionary, and Organismal Biology. She is also completing a minor in Earth Observation and Geospatial Analytics. Jordan has experience in conservation education through her internship at a local zoo, as well as hands-on animal care and rehabilitation work. She is especially interested in wildlife disease research and plans to pursue graduate studies to further explore the intersection of animal health and ecology.

After taking BS172 in the Fall 2024 semester, I knew that it was a class that I was interested in being a ULA for. Not only did I have a great experience with the class as a student due to the learning environment my TA/ULA provided me, but it was something that I felt engaged in when learning the concepts we had to apply to the lab. As a first-semester ULA, I am excited to go from student to teacher and see a different perspective of BS172. I am also excited to establish a comfortable environment in the classroom where students can ask questions when needed and have fun while learning the concepts that BS172 brings!
