Hi All,
I teach an introductory biology course at Massasoit Community College in
Brockton, Massachusetts, and have been working on making a significant
change in the course I teach. At present I am an adjunct instructor in the
evening program and teach an introductory course called “Biological
Principles,” (basically the first 20 chapters of Campbell’s Biology), which
concentrates on chemistry, cell biology, genetics, and biotechnology.
Team-based learning using case studies and other types of application
exercises, including, of course, laboratory investigations, is the direction
I want to take.
I am looking for a lead to case studies and other types of application
exercises and materials for use in a team-based biology learning situation.
I would also like to talk with biology instructors who are successfully
using team-based learning and case studies, particularly in courses similar
to the one I am teaching. I am familiar with the National Center for Case
Study Teaching in Science at the U. of Buffalo.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Paul
