Goodwin, Emma C.; Cao, Jane N.; Fletcher, Miles; Flaiban, Justin L.; Shortlidge, Erin E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2018
Graduate students hold a critical role in responding to national calls for increased adoption of evidence-based teaching (EBT) in undergraduate classrooms, as they not only serve as teaching assistants, but also represent the pool from which future faculty will emerge. Through interviews with 32 biology graduate students from 25 institutions…
