1. KATHY ZOGHBY University of Richmond Richmond, Virginia
PUI with ~2800 undergraduates
Push for average class size of 16
Average SAT (math and reading) 1280
20% of undergraduates come from Virginia
17% of undergraduates are American students of color
5% of undergraduates are international students
91% of undergraduates live on campus

2. REASON FOR APPLYING TO BSPRR
Non-majors science students in Human Genetics course
Challenge of engaging this resistant population
May, 2009 I attended the Teaching Case Studies in Science workshop, Buffalo, NY and ASMCUE
Class was re-created using the active learning pedagogy of team-based learning (TBL)

3. CAN THE USE OF TEAM-BASED LEARNING IN A NON-MAJORS HUMAN GENETICS CLASSROOM LEAD TO HIGHER STUDENT LEARNING GAINS?
Active Learning
Better Grades
Engagement
Attitude

4. RESEARCH DESIGN
Survey of demographics – GPA, class year, major, genetics information background
Pre-class interest in science survey (Likert scale)
Compare final grades and final exam scores
Genetics Concept Assessment (Smith, et al., 2008)
Selected questions from assessment and correlate with answers on post science knowledge survey(Likert scale)
Does team-based learning increase potential for non-majors science learning gains………
STAY TUNED
