Bil 151 is a
CO-REQUISITE
course.
Please make
sure that you are enrolled
in a lab section.
The
Workshops
are
Social Learning Communities where
student participation
is the basis for learning. Your role is that of a
learner and also a
teacher, to
help others in your learning community benefit from your knowledge.
Mastering biology involves "learning"
the content
of the subject matter, but also "learning
to be" a
biologist... a full participant in the
field of biology, which means acquiring the practices and norms
established by the practioneers of biology, kind of like
apprenticing or supervised graduate study. The idea is to engage new
students, as yourself, in learning by
productive inquiry.
Your Social Learning Community
will do
practice problem sets
that are designed to help you become more familiar with the
material presented in class in a
student oriented environment.
The Workshops
employ Peer Led Team
Learning
- a concept where other student Biology majors facilitate a series
of practice problems for currently enrolled students. As you review
the lecture material, your
Peer Mentor
will encourage engagement by asking questions or initiating
discussions about the material. Lecture provides the content, the
Peer Mentor
stimulates social learning interaction,
and you gain a better understanding through focused conversation.
