Using a two-course collaborative project to promote multiple-perspective thinking
Track
Research Proposal / Assessment of Student Learning
Abstract
Our aim is to challenge students to learn and broadly understand concepts so that they can apply them under different contexts. We have assigned a two-course group project that combines students from Microbiology and A&PII. Disease and immunity are covered in both courses but taught with a different focus. A collaborative project, utilizing microbial disease as a central theme, was designed to encourage students to think critically from the multiple perspectives of the two courses. Microbiology students were to concentrate on the microbial actions, with A&PII students focusing on the human physiological responses, thus creating a more thorough project.
