Aurora Callahan; Todd Smith – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
A common exercise given to students early in a molecular biology course is the creation of a restriction map of a plasmid "digested" by two restriction enzymes (RE). Meanwhile, students have learned from an early age about the properties and analyses of circles in their mathematics courses. But it is rare for students to learn using…

Carmen Saunders-Russell – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2023
The author explains how using creative assignments reinforces invention, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills in undergraduate health administration students. While several studies look at the use of creative assignments to help students develop these skills, few studies exist on their use in health administration. In addition, the use of…

Malik, Ali; Wu, Mike; Vasavada, Vrinda; Song, Jinpeng; Coots, Madison; Mitchell, John; Goodman, Noah; Piech, Chris – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Access to high-quality education at scale is limited by the difficulty of providing student feedback on open-ended assignments in structured domains like programming, graphics, and short response questions. This problem has proven to be exceptionally difficult: for humans, it requires large amounts of manual work, and for computers, until…

Bidwell, Deborah; Smirnoff, Dimitri – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2022
University students crave immersive, collaborative, interdisciplinary, applied learning contextualized to real world sustainability challenges. Liberal arts and sciences institutions are particularly well positioned to respond. Here we report on our high impact, cross-disciplinary, biomimicry-themed firstyear experience (FYE) curricula. Biomimicry…

Davis, Mariya T.; Cumming, Ingrid K.; Southward, Julie D. – Preventing School Failure, 2023
Among different transitions that happen in a young person's life, transition to adulthood can be one of the most challenging. The new post-school environment requires increased self-determination, including self-awareness, self-advocacy, self-management, and other important skills that help one function as an independent adult. Because it takes…

Rohrer, Doug; Hartwig, Marissa K. – Grantee Submission, 2020
A typical mathematics assignment consists of one or two dozen practice problems relating to the same skill or concept, yet empirical evidence suggests that there is little or no long-term benefit from working more than a few problems of the same kind in immediate succession. Alternatively, randomized experiments in the laboratory and classroom…

Che, Megan S.; Utley, Juliana; Reeder, Stacy – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
Teachers are continually in search of tasks that balance the dual priorities of rigorous thinking and fluency development. These often-competing priorities are emphasized by national-level organizations as well as by state-level standards and assessments. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) calls for school mathematics…

Frensley, John – Physics Teacher, 2019
Traditional high school physics instruction often comes across as a mere extension of the mathematics classroom to many of our students. Solving numerical physics problems using structures such as the GUESS method (given, unknown, equation, substitute, solve) doesn't help students with conceptual understanding. With the advent of physics education…
