Biological Sciences (61) In this project the anatomy, physiology and microbiology faculty at three different colleges within Yuba Community College District are collaborating to integrate similar laboratory equipment and teaching activities that have proven benefit. Data acquisition systems for physiology are providing the basis for student-led inquiry. Microscopy, as a method of scientific discovery, is being used in Microbiology. Multiple avenues of anatomy learning (organ and cadaver dissection, models, Adam Interactive) are being combined with collaborative writing projects to encourage understanding, not just memorization. Experienced faculty are proving training and mentoring to ensure success. The intellectual merits of this project include the use of study-led inquiry and the scientific method to enhance scientific understanding and scientific self-confidence. Critical analysis of data and results is being emphasized along with writing in all courses. The activity has broad impact in that it is affecting approximately 1200 students, mostly women and increased numbers of minority, economically disadvantaged, and geographically isolated students.

生物科学(61)在这个项目中，尤巴社区学院区内三所不同学院的解剖学、生理学和微生物学系正在合作，整合类似的实验室设备和已被证明有益的教学活动。生理学数据采集系统为学生主导的查询提供了基础。显微镜作为一种科学发现的方法，正被用于微生物学。解剖学学习的多种途径(器官和身体解剖、模型、亚当互动)正与协作写作项目相结合，以鼓励理解，而不仅仅是记忆。经验丰富的教职员工正在证明，培训和指导可以确保成功。这个项目的智力价值包括使用以学习为导向的探究和科学方法来增强科学理解和科学自信。所有课程都强调对数据和结果的批判性分析以及写作。这项活动产生了广泛的影响，因为它影响到大约1200名学生，主要是女性，以及越来越多的少数民族、经济困难和地理上与世隔绝的学生。
