Rate My Professor Glenis Paul

In her capacity as NZMSC Educator, Paul coordinates and leads a diverse array of hands-on marine science programmes designed to foster curiosity and understanding of marine environments. For primary students, her offerings encompass experiential learning modules focused on key ecological concepts such as food chains in marine systems, animal adaptations to aquatic habitats, traditional Māori fishing methods, comprehensive beach studies, fishing practices, and broader themes of environmental sustainability. These programmes emphasize practical, immersive activities that bring marine science to life. For secondary students, Paul's programmes are aligned with New Zealand's National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) curriculum, including Biology 3.1 Small Animal Studies, shoreline transect surveys to assess biodiversity and ecological health, and guided dissections to explore marine anatomy. She also provides freely accessible educational resources dedicated to the identification of marine organisms, supporting teachers and students in classroom and field settings.

Paul handles enquiries and bookings for these programmes, ensuring broad access for schools in her regions. She contributes to the Marine Discovery team, promoting public engagement with marine science at the University of Otago.
