Designing and Implementing a Hands-On, Inquiry-Based Molecular Biology Course
Regassa, Laura B.; Morrison-Shetlar, Alison I.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v36 n6 p36-41 May 2007
Inquiry-based learning was used to enhance an undergraduate molecular biology course at Georgia Southern University, a primarily undergraduate institution in rural southeast Georgia. The goal was to use a long-term, in-class project to accelerate higher-order thinking, thereby enabling students to problem solve and apply their knowledge to novel situations. (Contains 1 figure and 3 tables.)
