These students may have earned an associate's degree in a field like animal science, or earned no degree while completing the prerequisite courses for veterinary school.
For a comparison group for the quiz, we recruited students at participating schools who had completed the prerequisites to the GEP-affiliated course but were not engaged in the GEP research-based curriculum.
The majority of students in these classes were at the same instructional level of third-year standing, having just completed the prerequisite first- and second-year courses.
All students had completed the prerequisite course, BIO 111 (Molecules, Genes, and Cells), in which they discussed neuron structure and function, examined microscopic images, and interpreted graphs.
We also administered the skills tests to a control group of 15 Davidson students who had completed the prerequisite course, BIO 111, and thus had experience with neurons, microscopic images, and graphs.
(Specialty registrar, team A) The clinical research scientists expressed frustration at being reliant on clinicians to recruit patients for their research, especially as they had completed the prerequisite training and had recruited patients previously; however current regulations prohibit non-clinicians from recruiting patients.
Start researching graduate colleges while you're still enrolled in your undergraduate degree so you can ensure you're completing the necessary prerequisite classes and admission requirements.
In addition, GEP faculty recruited students at their institutions who had completed the same prerequisites but were in courses that did not use GEP material to serve as a comparison group.
Most students were junior or senior biology majors who had completed the course prerequisites at CCNY: a year of introductory biology, and one semester each of genetics and cell/molecular biology.
Completing the questionnaire was a prerequisite for becoming part of the project.
