To help biology faculty with the transition to online teaching, we have increased our online training opportunities in summer 2020. The online training will help faculty integrate GEP curriculum materials into existing courses, and to engage students in scientific research through Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) centered in genomics. These training sessions will be led by current GEP faculty and staff. Each session will meet for ~1.5 hours each weekday during the two week period. Once we have a firm list of trainees for a given session, we’ll send out a poll to determine the meeting time that works for everyone.
While COVID-19 prohibited us from exhibiting at The Allied Genetics Conference (TAGC) 2020 in person, we thoroughly enjoyed figuring out
A hallmark of the research experience is encountering difficulty and working through those challenges to achieve success. This ability is essential to being a successful scientist, but replicating such challenges in a teaching setting can be difficult. Our observations suggested that the students’ learning experience is continuous and recursive, frequently beginning with frustration but eventually leading to success as they come up with defendable gene models.
