PTF Impacts
Provost's Teaching Fellows have made lasting impacts in their departments, colleges and schools, all of the University of Texas, and even the broader scholarship of teaching and learning. Through both individual initiatives and university-wide programs, PTFs continue to serve as catalysts for positive change and further our campus culture of teaching and learning.

New Courses Launched: General Chemistry Laboratory Courses CH104M and CH014N
In Fall 2024, PTF Ruth Shear helped launch the new general chemistry labs, rewritten to include Research Methods material (rebranded "thinking like a scientist"), and taught to 4500 students. This involved a complete overhaul of the CH204 general chemistry lab course, turning it into two classes: CH104M and CH104N. These courses are required for the vast majority of CNS majors as well as all pre-health students. The courses were piloted in Fall 2024 with 400 students, and fully launched in Fall 2025 with over 4500 students.
Pharmacy Practice Labs Promotional Videos
Two promotional videos were created to highlight the impact of Pharmacy Practice Labs and collaboration with UT Athletic Training.
The first video is specifically about the Pharmacy Practice Labs program. In this course sequence, students learn to navigate the pharmacists' patient care process in preparation for Introductory and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences. Students utilize critical-thinking, problem-solving and communication skills to collect, assess, plan, implement and follow-up on patients at introductory and advanced levels.
