My Question
CELL SIGNALING
TEXTBOOK
SIMPLE PATHWAY
Network
REALISTIC
Context
• Honors Foundations of Biology 1–25 freshman students unprepared for• Upper level courses–Complex networks »many intermediates » cross talk within cell »modulated responses
Research Design
• Pretest questions– cell signaling terminology – complex cell response
• First article– Student pairs
• define terminology & function of characteristic molecules
• Subsequent disease articles (repeatedly)– Create network analogy
• Peer review – Refine, revise, recreate analogy over semester
– Practice with exam type questions
Evidence
• Midterm – Student knowledge
• Explain 2-3 ways disease “X” results from network flaw
– Student opinion
• Final– Use your final analogy for cell network scenario “X”– Prior practice-type questions
• Post course survey– Repeat pre course survey questions
