The goal of this course is to explore how student perspectives can help improve STEM education. Rather than focusing on biological concepts, students examine approaches to teaching and learning through scholarly literature, peer-led discussions, and critical conversations. Students work collaboratively with peers and faculty to develop ideas, activities, and curriculum that support and improve BioSci courses and professional development.

Course objectives

  • Read and discuss scholarly literature about teaching and learning in STEM.
  • Reflect on your own experiences as a student and consider how they can inform education.
  • Work with peers and faculty to develop ideas for improving BioSci courses and learning experiences.
  • Use student perspectives and research to think critically about challenges in STEM education.
  • Create and contribute to educational projects that support BioSci courses and professional development.
  • Use feedback and reflection to improve your ideas and work with others.
