Autorenporträt

Stephen J. Pintauro is Associate Professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences at the University of Vermont (Burlington, VT). Over my 36 years as a faculty member at UVM, he has taught many courses, including "Fundamentals of Food Science" class (sophomore/junior level), a junior/senior level "Advanced Nutrition" class, as well as a graduate level "Research Methods" course. In addition, since the early 1990's he has been teaching a "Food Regulation" course. He was awarded the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Carrigan Award (for excellence in undergraduate teaching) in 2000, and the Kroepsch- Maurice Award for Excellence in Teaching (UVM's most prestigious teaching award) in 2015. He focuses a significant amount of his research and scholarship efforts on various topics related to "teaching technology and pedagogy." The USDA's Higher Education Challenge Grants Program funded two of his research projects over the years. Other teaching-related projects were funded through competitive UVM funding sources. He continues to experiment with teaching technologies and strategies.
