 My teaching philosophy is actually called action and it's an acronym where the A stands for active. So I want the students to be active and to build the new knowledge on their own skillset which makes them also more proud of learning this knowledge. The C stands for contextualization. I want to put back everything we're seeing in the teaching classes, back into a context where the student can say oh I know why we're looking at this or oh actually this is something I see in my day to day life. The T stands for team work. I think it's very important to have a social aspect when learning. It's sometimes easier for someone to get knowledge and to acquire the knowledge when it comes from a peer than from really a teacher just saying all of this information. The I, it's I and it stands for interactive and individualized. I think it's very important for the teacher to interact with the student. It allows us to evaluate the level of the student which of course depends on each student so that we can then give some feedbacks on what is missing or what would be the least to follow to reach the standard of the course. The O stands for goal oriented. I think it's also very important for the student to know what they're going to to learn during the session. And finally the N stands for a nice atmosphere. So having a nice moment will probably help the student to learn best. So all in all, all in all I think that action is a good way to learn and to acquire new knowledge. This is a course actually for bachelor students. They are in the third semester of biology. Every year we have about 65 students attending the course and they come we leave from a from a broad background most of them from biology. Some of them already know they want to go to plant biology in the future. But some of them have a background in economy and take plant biology as a minor. So it's really interesting to work with such a broad range of students background. There are two goals for me for this practical specifically. There is one immediate goal which is to visualize what the students have been learning during the lecture with Manchester which is happening in the same week. So we basically go in the greenhouse and we can have a look to all the concepts that were mentioned there. So it allows them to understand better and visualize concepts and notions that have been seen. The second goal that I have is that they remember plant biology or plant defense for long term. So that even in five or ten years they can still say do you know there is this plant that can move or do you know what you're eating here is actually dangerous and so on. So that's my second goal that they remember some plant biology trade for a long time. At the end of the year there were still more points to earn a round where you always have to say something that you have seen and experienced today. What is related to theoretical material. And I think that this point at the end was actually the best thing about it. That you really have to call everything in memory what you have done today. So once we arrive in the greenhouse the group of students have different missions that they have to fill. There are five missions which are compulsatory and three alternative missions that they can decide to do or not if they still have time at the end. For each mission there is a series of readers that they have to follow to find the right plant, answer the questions about these plants or understand what's happening with those plants and how it could be related to the plant physiology practical. My favorite mission is about how they have to rob a bank safe and then how they can connect that with plant physiology. You can really see them trying to connect and I hope that now when they watch a movie about robbing a bank they can still think oh that's what it's doing during plant physiology. For each mission they get a piece of a puzzle and basically having all of the pieces of the puzzles together will allow them to see the exit code and to exit the green houses. But on the top of that for each mission the students can earn a certain number of points which means that at the end when we all go back to the practical room we can count the points and get a reward for the best team. During the exam there is always one question about this escape game practical and I'm always amazed because it is excellent. I mean it's almost only sixes. It's like all the students can give back this knowledge and they sometimes even wrote more than the answers which I expect. We often found some smiley or saying again that was cool and it made us proud really. We wondered at the first year if the question was too easy. So the second year we made it a bit harder but still the students all answered very well so we could see from the exam that they really did take this knowledge together with them. It's important for the teacher to teach the way they feel comfortable with. But if they feel like they would like to try something like crazy as an escape game I would say then just go for it unlock the creativity, gather a team to support you in this work and spend a bit of time on it. It is definitely worth it.
