Rate My Professor Juli Uhl

Uhl earned her Ph.D. in Molecular and Developmental Biology from the University of Cincinnati in spring 2014. Her doctoral research was conducted in the Gebelein Lab at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center under advisor Brian Gebelein. After completing her doctorate, she served as an Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at the University of Cincinnati. Her academic interests include biology education research, with involvement in the Automated Analysis of Constructed Responses research group at Michigan State University. This work focuses on student explanations of molecular processes, such as those involved in information flow, and the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence to assess constructed responses in STEM education. She presented on automated writing assessment of undergraduate learning in biology at the 2021 SABER national meeting. Uhl has contributed thoughtfully to peer-reviewed studies published in journals including the Journal of Chemical Education and CBE—Life Sciences Education, addressing topics like student use of animations, instructor explanations of ATP synthesis mechanisms, and coding schemes for science learning progressions.
