Student Assessments
Purpose: The goal of this research is to learn more about how engagement with GEP materials and projects empowers student learning. To accomplish this task, we have developed a pre-course/post-course research design to measure the learning gains and other outcomes of courses that include our shared genomics project.
Directions: GEP faculty will need to provide their students who are at least 18 years old with the username and password for each of the student assessments. You can find this information by accessing the password (generic) protected “Student Login Credentials” page or in the “Reminders” section of the Monthly Newsletter. Contact Wilson Leung for assistance.

As of August 2025, The University of Alabama has determined that GEP members will not need to obtain an IRB Authorization Agreement (IAA) or any other IRB documentations to solicit student participation in the assessments. Only individuals who directly interact with the assessment data or with the research subjects (e.g., interviews) will need to provide the IRB documentations.
