Individual+Topic+Investigation

here's megan's individual topic investigation! :)  Investigation Reflection Prompt    Simran Sandhu   I would like to do a career investigation for this project. We would investigate Dr. Devinder Sandhu. Dr. Devinder Sandhu is an Associate Professor of Biology at UWSP. His profession is focused on three primary things. These things are: teaching, scholarship, and service.

Teaching would consist of the courses he teaches, such as: Plant Biology, Genetics, Plant Genetics, Plant Breeding, Independent Study, and Seminar.

Scholarship would focus on his research projects. Some of these include: Identification of Alternate Dwarfing System in Wheat, To Characterize the Genes Involved in the Reproduction of Soybean, and Understanding Systemic Acquired Resistance (immunity) Path Way in Plants.

Service would consist of the committees Dr. Sandhu is in and the different journals he reviews for. The committees he is in include: The Academic Affairs Committee, the Grade Review Committee, and the Student Centered Committee. He reviews for the //Journal of Heredity, Theoretical and Applied Genetics, Molecular Breeding, Crop Science, Euphytica, and Phytopathology//. Dr. Sandhu is also the academic adviser of 17 students.

We should do a career investigation on Dr. Sandhu because, first of all, it will be very easy to get information on Dr. Sandhu, which is important because we will need lots of information for a ten to fifteen minute presentation. It will be convenient because he is my father, and he lives with me. Second, we already have a little bit of background knowledge on Dr. Sandhu’s job, because of the life science unit we did in the past. This way, even though he teaches college level courses, we will have an idea about his courses. Lastly, we should investigate Dr. Sandhu because he is well known throughout the world for his research
