Dr. John Ulici-Petrut

My teaching philosophy has evolved from a combination of previous teaching experience and a well-formed knowledge base in a relatively large area of biology topics. Coupled with good communication skills and teaching methods, as well as a caring attitude towards students, my experience was further enhanced through training, teaching, research, and supervision. Teaching is the central part of my academic life.

Educational credentials

I graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Cluj in 1989, and then 1996 I obtained the Ph.D. degree in Veterinary Sciences at USAMV Cluj, Romania. I have extensive post-secondary teaching and supervisory experience from the period between 1991 and 2002 with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, USAMV Cluj. Later after my immigration to Canada in 2002, I continued teaching at the post-secondary level in the fields of animal care, biology, anatomy, and physiology, initially at NAIT Edmonton, and later at Athabasca University since Jan. 2006.
