The Science (Students) of Course Change – FSCI 396 Research Projects
Data and collaboration are key in science – so why not use both to drive change in teaching and learning at the Faculty of Science at Ã山ǿ¼é? FSCI 396 – Research Project in Science Teaching and Learning is a course that partners undergraduate students and instructors to design and assess learning opportunities, resulting in improvements for everyone.
This visual is the first post in a series that will showcase Fall 2022 FSCI 396 student-illustrated abstracts of their research projects. It sets the context for their work by explaining FSCI 396 itself: its goals and its framework of students as partners in the scholarship of teaching and learning, as well as offering some examples of partnerships and projects completed in the past.
