  1. http://xkcd.com/c242.html How could you choose avoiding a little pain over understanding a magic lightning machine?

  2. BIO 3100 Cell and Molecular Response to the observations 3 times a week, 50 min lecture, 3 credits BIO 3101 Cell and Molecular Biology Lab Once a week, 2 hr 50 min - 1 CU Observations of student attitudes and student reviews (taught it 5 times over 4 semester): Unfair/Unreasonable amount of work for “just 1 credit.” “Just 1 credit” Background Merge 3100 and 3101 into 3120, where there are two one-hour lecture and two two-hour lab (1-2-1-2) once a week, for 4 credits.

  3. Research Question Does the difference in class format change the student motivation for learning for this class? If the change in format does cause a change in student motivation, does this lead to improved learning gains?

  4. Subjects (approx. 24 per session) Instruments 1 session of 3120, taught by Dr. Hung 1 session of 3101, taught by Dr. Bulla 2 sessions of 3120, taught by Dr. Menze One page reflective statements Science Motivation Questionnaire by Glynn et al. 2009. Concept inventories Final course grade (summative evaluation) Survey for standard demographic info, e.g. class standing, gender, ethnicity, expected course grade, etc. Methods

  5. Design Lingering questions Give the Science Motivation Questionnaire 3 times Give the demographic survey at the beginning Obtain reflective statements 3 times Do concept inventory twice Should I try to access former students? Will it be useful? IRB? Methods Is the 3101 a good and useful comparison groups? Different sample size, different student background.
