The Biology Department is revising its introductory biology laboratory course. This large course enrolls 300 students per year, approximately 10% of whom are biology education majors. This project will allow us to incorporate more data analysis and discussion of concepts into the laboratory portion of this course. The biology faculty believe that using computers to help with the graphing of results is giving more time to present additional data sets to compare with those generated in the laboratory. They are using computer programs with integrated wordprocessing and spreadsheet capabilities that enable the students to prepare laboratory reports with a more extensive analysis of the data and concepts. Computers, printers, and software are being purchased for the revision of biology laboratories. *

生物系正在修改其生物学实验入门课程。这门大型课程每年招收300名学生，其中约10%是生物教育专业的学生。本项目将使我们能够将更多的数据分析和概念讨论纳入本课程的实验部分。生物学教师认为，使用计算机帮助绘制结果图，可以提供更多的时间来展示额外的数据集，以便与实验室生成的数据集进行比较。他们正在使用集成了文字处理和电子表格功能的计算机程序，使学生能够准备实验室报告，并对数据和概念进行更广泛的分析。正在购买计算机、打印机和软件，用于生物实验室的改造。*
