In that study, introductory students answered an open-ended question that required them to consider whether genetic drift could explain a shift in genotype.
Only students who handed in the introductory survey, answered the multiple choice questions and completed at least three case feedback sheets were included in the analysis.
The students in our study spent a relatively short time discussing their ideas, ∼1 min on average, unless LAs were present, in which case they spent ∼1.5 min. These times are similar to the length of time reported in other studies of introductory students answering clicker questions (e.g., introductory physics; Miller et al., 2014).
These data suggest that when the emphasis was the same, even when scientific context and/or wording was changed, the exercise increased the ability of our introductory students to answer a subsequent question on the same topic ∼50% of the time (five of nine questions).
After a few minutes answering introductory questions, his mouth goes gummy.
Easy! You'll be directed to a password screen, and then the introductory page with answers to some FAQs.
Within this special issue it is not possible to adequately answer the introductory question, neither can the selected articles represent even the core range of disciplines, fields, concepts, methods, countries, or research contexts of resilience and vulnerability in DRM.
Countries were required to answer an introductory question: "Does your country currently hold rinderpest virus containing material?" Only 1 of 4 predetermined options could be selected: "yes," "no," "unknown," or "never held rinderpest virus containing material".
"We were looking for the most common answers an introductory physics student would give," Holmes explains.
One key question about the success of The Times's digital strategy — whether subscribers would renew at full price once their low introductory rates expired — was answered in part on Thursday.
Thus, it is possible that, because introductory students were generally answering less cognitively demanding questions, they needed less time in discussion.
