Presentation transcript:

Concept Inventories Jim Smith Michigan State University Lyman Briggs College n What is a concept inventory? n How are concept inventories built? n How many concept inventories are there in biology? n Are concept inventories the “silver bullet”? n How might you use a concept inventory in your SoTL project?

Learning Goals n By the end of this session, scholars will: Know what a concept inventory is; Explain how a concept inventory is built; Describe some of the existing concept inventories in biology; and Have thought about how a concept inventory might be of use in their own SoTL project.
