متن کاملA Problem-Based Learning Approach to Teaching Introductory Soil Science
At most land-grant universities in the USA, Introduction to Soil Science is traditionally taught using a combination of lecture and laboratory formats. To promote engagement, improve comprehension, and enhance retention of content by students, we developed a problem-based learning (PBL) introductory soil science course. Students work in groups to solve five real-life problems during the semeste...
متن کاملAn Approach to Deriving Maximal Invariant Statistics
Invariance principles is one of the ways to summarize sample information and by these principles invariance or equivariance decision rules are used. In this paper, first, the methods for finding the maximal invariant function are introduced. As a new method, maximal invariant statistics are constructed using equivariant functions. Then, using several equivariant functions, the maximal invariant...
متن کاملTeaching systems biology: an active-learning approach.
With genomics well established in modern molecular biology, recent studies have sought to further the discipline by integrating complementary methodologies into a holistic depiction of the molecular mechanisms underpinning cell function. This genomic subdiscipline, loosely termed "systems biology," presents the biology educator with both opportunities and obstacles: The benefit of exposing stud...
