Turning the Potential Liability of Large Enrollment Laboratory Science Courses into an Asset
Johnson, Dan; Levy, Foster; Karsai, Istvan; Stroud, Kimberly
Journal of College Science Teaching, v35 n6 p46-51 May-Jun 2006
Data sharing among multiple lab sections increases statistical power of data analyses and informs student-generated hypotheses. We describe how to collect, organize, and manage data to support replicate and rolling inquiry models, with three illustrative examples of activities from a population-level biology course for science majors. (Contains 1 table and 2 figures.)
