"Library to Lecture to Lab: Intro to Biology on a Mass Scale"
Wednesday, February 23
John Giannini, Biology, and Charles Priore, Science Library
In a large Biology 125 course, 250 students were introduced to molecular modelling, database searching, and bibliographic management software, all tied into a series of actual lab experiences and class presentations. In addition, students produced a mock research report before being put into a real-time research environment. John Giannini and Charles Priore will talk about their plan to fully integrate all these elements, and how that integration served the students' learning in the course.
