Heideman, Paul D.; Flores, K. Adryan; Sevier, Lu M.; Trouton, Kelsey E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2017
Drawing by learners can be an effective way to develop memory and generate visual models for higher-order skills in biology, but students are often reluctant to adopt drawing as a study method. We designed a nonclassroom intervention that instructed introductory biology college students in a drawing method, minute sketches in folded lists (MSFL),…
