Techniques Sharron Jenkins Uses:
All of my project involvments required problem solving skills. I am an outstanding research scientist - which is the first skill I employ when approaching a problem. Research involves gathering information, soliciting information from other professionals, and then doing small scale experiments to begin solving the problem.

Sharron Jenkins's Problem Solving Experience:
- 5) I have developed Chemistry Online, which is in its trial run now. I have developed all labs into a custom kit. Students do all labs from home. The course is linked to Blackboard. This course will also expand internationally - our research shows that students learn as well online as they do offline. The course saves the university time, space and dollars.
- 4) I developed an oil science kit for NeoSci publications
- 3) I have been hired to write for McGraw Hill on topic such as: urine analysis, AIDS, etc...all which require research.
- 1) I developed the first international online course of HIV/AIDS education, prevention and behavior research. The course is a collaboration between the University of KwaZulu Natal (South Africa) and Purdue North Central. Over 1000 students have taken the course. The course is designed to reduce at risk behavior.
- 2) For over 10 years I have worked within Devry teams developing course curriculum, custom educational text and material.
