Biological Science Instructors' Use of Self-Evaluation Tools [PDF]
The American Biology Teacher, 1962 Self-evaluation procedures are of concern to at least two major groups of instructors in the biological sciences. The first group is represented by the professor with considerable teaching experience who believes his teaching could be more effective with increased attention to a diagnosis of what he is now doing and to a consideration of possible ...

Nanocourses: A Short Course Format as an Educational Tool in a Biological Sciences Graduate Curriculum [PDF]
CBE—Life Sciences Education, 2008 Traditional courses for graduate students in the biological sciences typically span a semester, are organized around the fundamental concepts of a single discipline, and are aimed at the needs of incoming students. Such courses demand significant time commitment from both faculty and course participants; thus, they are avoided by a subset of the ...

Biological X-ray absorption spectroscopy (BioXAS): a valuable tool for the study of trace elements in the life sciences [PDF]
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2008 Using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) the binding modes (type and number of ligands, distances and geometry) and oxidation states of metals and other trace elements in crystalline as well as non-crystalline samples can be revealed. The method may be applied to biological systems as a 'stand-alone' technique, but it is particularly powerful when ...

Windows to the soul: vision science as a tool for studying biological mechanisms of information processing deficits in schizophrenia [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Cognitive and information processing deficits are core features and important sources of disability in schizophrenia. Our understanding of the neural substrates of these deficits remains incomplete, in large part because the complexity of impairments in schizophrenia makes the identification of specific deficits very challenging.
