University policy prohibits double counting of courses in multiple programs except in specific cases such as introductory skill requirements or overlapping courses that enable a student to meet University requirements such as GERs.
It is designed for an audience of emerging leaders, supervisors, and managers seeking introductory skill development in team management and leadership growth.
Participants of these first workshops were graduate- and postgraduate-level learners with an interest and/or need in gaining both an understanding and introductory skill set in bioinformatics, its tools and databases, and typically had no prior exposure to bioinformatics in their formal education.
The purpose of this study was to assess whether an MC-only exam format might hinder the development of higher-level (critical) thinking skills in introductory science students.
This further supports the hypothesis that the MC-only exam format indeed discourages the practice of critical-thinking skills in introductory science classes, while the addition of CR questions encourages it.
To test the hypothesis that the MC-only exam format hinders the development of higher-level thinking skills in introductory science students, I changed the exam format in a large introductory biology class with traditionally MC-only exams to include MC as well as several CR questions.
We used Bloom's taxonomy to characterize the cognitive skills regularly assessed in two introductory science sequences for discipline majors: introductory biology and introductory calculus-based physics.
Trainees received a baseline evaluation (n = 283) followed by an 8-hour training session that involved an introductory lecture, skills management with a mannequin simulator, clinical scenarios for the training ACLS algorithm, and instructor-facilitated debriefings.
Between March 2002 and December 2006, a total of 497 trainees received a baseline evaluation (n = 283) followed by an 8 hour-training session that involved an introductory lecture, skills management with a mannequin simulator, clinical scenarios for the training ACLS algorithm, and instructor-facilitated debriefings.
She would like to create an introductory Web-skills course for Northwestern freshmen that would teach helpful, often-overlooked aspects of digital literacy.
