Offerdahl, Erika G.; Montplaisir, Lisa – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2014
Formative assessment has long been identified as a critical element to teaching for conceptual development in science. It is therefore important for university instructors to have an arsenal of formative assessment tools at their disposal which enable them to effectively uncover and diagnose all students' thinking, not just the most vocal or…

Taylor, Ann T. S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2013
Most biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, and molecular biology classes have extensive prerequisite or co-requisite requirements, often including introductory chemistry, introductory biology, and organic chemistry coursework. But what is the function of these prerequisites? While it seems logical that a basic understanding of biological and…

Sears, Duane W.; Thompson, Scott E.; Saxon, S. Robin – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2007
Adaptive chemical behavior is essential for an organism's function and survival, and it is no surprise that biological systems are capable of responding both rapidly and selectively to chemical changes in the environment. To elucidate an organism's biochemistry, its chemical reactions need to be characterized in ways that reflect the normal…
