Infusing primary literature into the majors science curriculum (2015/16 MILRF project)
In this study, a modified CREATE methodology (www.teachcreate.org) was used to incorporate the reading, analysis and discussion of four primary research papers from the recent biological literature into BIO182. Individual and group activities were used to integrate the papers into the course; some activities were graded, some were not. Activities included concept mapping, cartooning of experimental design, paragraph summarizing, data transformation, and figure annotation.
