9452376 Ahern-Rindell Newly acquired equipment enables introduction of an extensive laboratory component into a recently initiated upper division course in molecular genetics. The course fits into an already established commitment to a molecular biology program of study across the campus. The course is designed around a critical thinking approach that utilizes cooperative group learning techniques. The extensive laboratory component stresses student cooperation in solving problems through creative, group designed experiments. The course impacts zoology majors as well as students in the criminal justice, biotechnician, and wildlife conservation programs. It provides the basis for developing individualized undergraduate research projects, most significantly through the thesis program in the Department of Zoology.

9452376埃亨-林德尔公司新购买的设备能够将广泛的实验室成分引入最近开始的分子遗传学高级课程。这门课程符合已经确立的在整个校园内开展分子生物学学习的承诺。本课程围绕批判性思维方法设计，利用合作小组学习技术。广泛的实验室部分强调学生通过创造性的、小组设计的实验来合作解决问题。这门课程影响到动物学专业的学生以及刑事司法、生物技术和野生动物保护专业的学生。它为开发个性化的本科生研究项目提供了基础，最重要的是通过动物系的论文计划。
