Quitadamo, Ian J.; Faiola, Celia L.; Johnson, James E.; Kurtz, Martha J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2008
National stakeholders are becoming increasingly concerned about the inability of college graduates to think critically. Research shows that, while both faculty and students deem critical thinking essential, only a small fraction of graduates can demonstrate the thinking skills necessary for academic and professional success. Many faculty are…

Porter, Sandra G.; Day, Joseph; McCarty, Richard E.; Shearn, Allen; Shingles, Richard; Fletcher, Linnea; Murphy, Stephanie; Pearlman, Rebecca – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2007
Researchers in the field of bioinformatics have developed a number of analytical programs and databases that are increasingly important for advancing biological research. Because bioinformatics programs are used to analyze, visualize, and/or compare biological data, it is likely that the use of these programs will have a positive impact on biology…

Freeman, Scott; O'Connor, Eileen; Parks, John W.; Cunningham, Matthew; Hurley, David; Haak, David; Dirks, Clarissa; Wenderoth, Mary Pat – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2007
We tested five course designs that varied in the structure of daily and weekly active-learning exercises in an attempt to lower the traditionally high failure rate in a gateway course for biology majors. Students were given daily multiple-choice questions and answered with electronic response devices (clickers) or cards. Card responses were…

Wischusen, Sheri Maples; Wischusen, E. William – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2007
The Biology Intensive Orientation for Students (BIOS) Program was designed to assess the impact of a 5-d intensive prefreshman program on success and retention of biological science majors at Louisiana State University. The 2005 pilot program combined content lectures and examinations for BIOL 1201, Introductory Biology for Science Majors, as well…
