Improvements to PCB 5435 (Marine Ecology of Florida) Resulting from the Fall 2003 FCTL Collaboration Workshop Dr. Linda Walters Department of Biology

Background on PCB 5435 Limit: 9 graduate students Limit: 9 graduate students 2 hr/wk on campus and 4 full weekends in the field 2 hr/wk on campus and 4 full weekends in the field Already in place: group projects in field Already in place: group projects in field Come up with an hypothesis Come up with an hypothesis Design experiment Design experiment Run experiment Run experiment Analyze data Analyze data Submit results: as scientific manuscript or poster presentation or exercise laboratory manual AND Submit results: as scientific manuscript or poster presentation or exercise laboratory manual AND One person in group additionally gives PowerPoint presentation of results One person in group additionally gives PowerPoint presentation of results

Question 1: How to make this class more collaborative? Question 2: Why stress collaboration so much in this class?

Collaboration Changes: In-Class Example Topic: Writing a scientific resume (curriculum vita) Old way: Distributed a good student c.v. and casually lectured on it. Old way: Distributed a good student c.v. and casually lectured on it. New way: Start with small group computer exercise on creating good c.v. Compare group results. Then discuss model student c.v. New way: Start with small group computer exercise on creating good c.v. Compare group results. Then discuss model student c.v.

Collaboration Changes: Field Project Example Topic: Writing manuscript based on field experiment Old: Able to significantly help students during design and data collection stages in field. Then waited to see final product. Old: Able to significantly help students during design and data collection stages in field. Then waited to see final product.
