Quantitative
Problem Solving in Biology at Edmonds Community College:
Two biology instructors worked on revising assignments
to more explicitly help students progress up the developmental staircase
to solve quantitative problems in molecular and cellular biology.
Taking their inspiration from the TV
show "What Not To Wear" they titled their project "How Not to Teach," and they
discuss how to better teach specific quantitative topics in Biology.
"Biology with Math-Aid" at Edmonds Community College:
A
mini-coordinated studies class that includes mathematical concepts that will be used in
the biology series. Topics will include
graphing, scientific notation, logarithms, exponential functions, and
probability.
"On Being Human" Anthropology & Biology of Human Origins at EdCC:
A coordinated studies course quantifying and incorporating biology and genetics into anthropology.
Biology at Bellevue Community College:
