In an approach adapted from materials presented by Catherine Mader of Hope College (Building and Sustaining an Undergraduate Research Program) and Louise Temple of Drew University and Brian Merkle of University of Wisconsin Green Bay (How to Survive as a Researcher in a Small Liberal Arts College) at the 1998 Project Kaleidoscope National Assembly and a small pilot project, students are using a research project approach to learning biology. Students are sharpening their scientific reasoning and analytical skills by designing and conducting research experiments utilizing sophisticated techniques for gene expression (tissue cryosectioning, immunocytochemistry, enzyme cytochemistry, and in situ hybridization). A number of courses are affected. Developmental Biology students are: designing experiments to analyze the tissue-specific expressions of a gene during embryogenesis; performing labeling experiments for visualization of this expression in embryo sections; recording and analyzing their data using an image analysis station; and disseminating their scientific data at a student poster session at the end of the semester. Cell Biology students perform similar laboratory projects involving enzyme cytochemistry. Molecular Biology, Immunology, Microscopic Anatomy and Molecular Genetics courses are also adapting the new approach and implementing use of the new equipment.

学生们采用研究项目方法来学习生物学，该方法改编自希望学院的 Catherine Mader（建立和维持本科生研究计划）、德鲁大学的 Louise Temple 和威斯康星大学绿湾分校的 Brian Merkle（如何在小型文理学院的研究员中生存）提出的材料。 学生通过利用复杂的基因表达技术（组织冷冻切片、免疫细胞化学、酶细胞化学和原位杂交）设计和进行研究实验，提高他们的科学推理和分析技能。 许多课程受到影响。 发育生物学学生： 设计实验来分析胚胎发生过程中基因的组织特异性表达；进行标记实验以可视化胚胎切片中的表达；使用图像分析站记录和分析数据；并在学期末的学生海报会议上传播他们的科学数据。 细胞生物学学生进行类似的涉及酶细胞化学的实验室项目。 分子生物学、免疫学、显微解剖学和分子遗传学课程也采用新方法并使用新设备。
