Abstract

Close
- In this work, I describe the development of a Master’s level microbiology course which uses an active learning approach to encourage the students to think scientifically about the course material and gives the students training in experimental design, data analysis, literature research and scientific oral and written presentation. The course combines a case study approach with an inquiry based lab. I discuss how the students are formatively assessed in the course and how this becomes a motivational tool. Finally, I discuss the feedback from the students in terms of course evaluation.
