Incorporating Experimentation in to Freshman and Sophomore Biology Courses

大一和大二的实验室活动（微生物学） 学生将被修改，以强调实验，而不是 面向示范的活动。目的是让学生 把科学当作一个假设形成和检验的过程 通过实验设计、数据收集和分析。 练习 六个实验课将由新开发的练习取代 强调实验方法，使用新的显微镜， 计算机和分光光度计。 学院将提供50%的配套资金。

Laboratory activities for freshman and sophomore (Microbiology) students will be revised to emphasize experimentation rather than demonstration-oriented activities. The objective is to allow students to experience science as a process of hypothesis formation and testing by experimental design, data collection and analysis. Exercises for six laboratory periods will be replaced by newly developed exercises emphasizing the experimental approach, using new microscopes, computers, and a spectrophotometer. The college will provide 50% matching funds.
