Biofundamentals™ is an attempt to build a more conceptually coherent and rigorous introductory course in modern biology (testimonial) We use an interactive teaching style and web tools
to "get Socratic". You will need to read and
engage with the text and embedded assignments before class. |
| As
you read, you can leave questions and comments and respond to the
comments of other students. Each reading includes questions to answer and ponder, as well as a beSocratic formative assessment to help you consolidate your learning. Class
time is spent considering the most difficult ideas.
Our goal is not to sort students, but to present difficult ideas in a coherent context, so you can better master them. We use novel testing strategies that include "I know it now!" tests designed to allow students to demonstrate their understanding of key ideas.
