BIOGRAPHY

     Prof. Mamdoh Meqdam Harahsha received his Ph.D. in Molecular Virology from Manchester University, Manchester-UK in Dec. 1991. During his Ph.D., he worked on the development of synthetic vaccines from the measles virus. He prepared 8 synthetic peptides from the hemagglutinin and fusion proteins of the measles virus to be used as a vaccine for the measles virus for the benefit of Proteus Biotechnology Ltd, UK. 
     Received his M.Sc. in Medical Bacteriology from Yarmouk University, Irbid-Jordan in 1985. During his M.Sc., he worked on post-operative wound sepsis and the possible sources of S. aureus at Princess Basma Hospital, Irbid-Jordan. 
     Prof. Harahsha is a full professor of molecular virology and bacteriology since 2007 which was obtained during his work at the Department of Applied Biological Sciences, Jordan University of Science and Technology / Jordan. 
     Prof. Harahsha taught several courses: General Biology, General Microbiology, Medical Microbiology, Diagnostic Bacteriology, Advanced Microbiology, Medical Virology, Molecular Virology, Vaccines, and Antibiotics. 
He supervised several undergraduate and graduate students in their research in his laboratory. 
Prof. Harahsha is a member of the Pan American Society for Clinical Virology, European Society for Clinical Virology, and Jordan Society for Laboratory Medical Sciences. He published 35 scientific papers in international, indexed, specialized, and refereed journals through different research proposals granted as principal and associate investigator. 
     Jordan is a small country and there was a limited basic studies on viruses causing diseases in childhood. Prof. Harahsha started studying the viruses causing respiratory tract infection (RTI), gastroenteritis, and meningitides as a base building for viruses distributed between children in Jordan. Currently, he is focusing on viruses causing acute RTI in children, particularly on the molecular epidemiological studies of metapneumovirus and human bocavirus. Human bocavirus got a lot of concern nowadays as its discovered recently (Allander et al., 2005) and implicated in acute respiratory tract infection in children along with the traditional viral causative agents. Several abstracts about the results of his work were presented at local, regional and international meetings as oral presentations or posters. 
     Prof. Harahsha has been appointed as chairman of the Dept. of Applied Biology at Jordan between 1998-1999. He spent 5 years (2001-2006) as a sabbatical and academic leave at the College of Applied Medical Sciences / Dept. of Medical Laboratories / Qasseem University/ Saudi Arabia. During this period; he taught Virology, Medical Microbiology, and Practical Clinical Microbiology and carried out scientific research (3 published papers, see Publications). 
Recently (2009-2018), Prof. Harahsha was the vice Dean of Academic Affairs in the College of Applied Medical Sciences, Dept. Clinical Laboratory Sciences, Hail University, Saudi Arabia. During this, he is teaching Diagnostic Microbiology I (Bacteriology) and Diagnostic Microbiology II (Virology). 
     Prof. Harahsha is interested to cooperate with other colleagues; sharing, learning and networking opportunities with professionals working in virology research in Jordan and abroad. 

PHILOSOPHY 

      My teaching career began in 1991 and the trip still running up to this moment. The current statement reflects my teaching philosophy up to this time where teaching, research, and learning are going side by side. As parts of the teaching process, both teachers and students learn from each other and thus both parts do participate. Teaching is an exciting message to be delivered in a dynamic way depending on needs and latest update developments. However, my teaching philosophy is based on the following: 

    Preparation: Preparation of any material, which will be delivered to the students, is a basic educational concept that should be applied at any teaching level. Preparation for a course reflects the organization of the course syllabus, audiovisual aids, and update literature. Construction of a course syllabus explains how the course will proceed and its objectives and contents. Also, the date of exams, type of questions, textbook and grade distribution should be emphasized. Be prepared in advance with windows for amendments and changes enabled me to participate in different activities such as supervision of undergraduate and graduate students, writing proposals and attending different local, national and international meetings. 

Assessment Strategies and Tools: Get the students to be involved during the entire period of the class to think about the conveyed subjects and how that would help them in their future. I expect that my students will acquire knowledge, skills of thinking and writing. As a biology and microbiology teacher, I usually encourage my students to go outside the campus boundaries to be in contact with the society to achieve the objectives of the course. This is very clear in my basic microbiology classes, which aims to have applications in our lives. 

Fairness: I mean to understand and take care of students as a role model and respect the differences among people in terms of thoughts, feelings, abilities, and backgrounds. Makeup exams might explain this point providing that regular exams not to be used to hammer the students, but as an evaluation tool that should reflect students' performance 

Advising and Office Hours: My position as a chairman of an academic department taught me to take care of students during their terms of study. Advising students to prepare their schedules and how to upgrade their accumulative averages is important. I expect from the office hours to direct students before and after exams and discuss the points that help them to perform better. 

Examinations: Teachers use different tools to assess student performance such as home works, quizzes and performance follow-up; however, examinations are common. I expect from my exams to assess the students’ performance to a certain subject in addition to achieve the objectives of the course. As an examiner, objectiveness is crucial and entitles grading of exams based on a key that should be discussed after the exam period. All changes or amendments to the exam should be pointed out to the instructors and 

particularly in the multi-section courses. Online exams are examples of application of objectiveness and a new technology that would develop courses. 

How to implement the above concepts and improve my approach in the classroom is gained through my daily practice, which is enriched with updated literature and student evaluations. 

LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY 
 
 I was the chairman of the Department of Applied Biological Sciences at Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST)/Irbid-Jordan between 1998 and 1999. 
The Department of Applied Biological Sciences at (JUST) has seventeen-faculty members, 12 supporting staff in addition to 3 scholars who are studying for their Ph.D. in the USA and Australia. The department offers courses to more than 2500 students and is recruiting the best students who graduate from high school with a total number of students at this time to be over 500. Our department has the necessary infrastructure for 4 general biology labs, 2 labs for each of Genetics/Molecular biology and Microbiology/Microbial biotechnology, and 1 lab for each of biochemistry/protein biotechnology, immunology/tissue culture, and plant biotechnology. Also, the department hosts 8 research labs. 

    My philosophy as a team leader was based on the following: 
 
Leading and Direction: As a chairman and in my new workplace that include people of different attitudes, manners, and backgrounds I learned to lead the others in a manner that achieved respect, fairness, and openness. To direct my colleagues concerning their positions mean to encourage them and seize all opportunities to contribute to the different activities that would develop both themselves and the department, in addition to submission of proposals to be funded internally or externally. Supporting staff was also directed to be involved in the department tenders, budget, and organization of teaching labs, stores, and inventory processes. Any opportunity that would develop the supporting staff was followed by the higher offices. 
 
Follow-up and Organization: Once the term is started, several actions need to be followed up, which include the organization of the schedule and load, preparation of the syllabus of each offered course, office hours for each faculty, solving the problems of each expected graduating student and find a suitable place for our students to be trained as one of requirements for graduation. 
 
Innovations and Initiatives: Between Jan. 1996 - Jun. 1996, I was a member of the Scientific Board for the establishment of a Medical Technology Program for the level of B.Sc. and M.Sc. at Jordan University of Science and Technology. This Committee was established by the JUST president. During this period, we worked hard to prepare the program, looking at different Medical Technology Programs from other universities, and contacting many organizations; WHO, CDC, Pasture Institute and others. At last, we put a plan for the Dept. of Medical Technology. This Dept. starts accepting student on Sept. 1996 as part of the Faculty of Medicine then become separate as a Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences with 7 Dept. 

I was a joint member of the Department of Medical Technology, Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences, Jordan University of Science and Technology between 1996-1998.
