This project will develop a new biology curriculum for non-majors which develops the knowledge base, the observational skills, and intellectual study habits of students in an area of science which will allow for continued learning without formal instruction; act as an instrument to change student values; and will lead students to a recognition of the interplay between science and public affairs. To achieve these ends the PI proposes an experimentally based curriculum for non-majors which focuses on open ended laboratory/workshop activities and de-emphasizes lectures and demonstrations.

该项目将为非专业学生开发一套新的生物学课程，以培养学生在某一科学领域的知识基础、观察技能和智力学习习惯，使他们能够在没有正式指导的情况下继续学习；作为改变学生价值观的工具；并将引导学生认识到科学与公共事务之间的相互作用。为了实现这些目标，PI提出了一种以实验为基础的非专业课程，该课程侧重于开放式实验室/研讨会活动，而不是强调讲座和演示。
