Effective Learning in the Life Sciences is intended to help
ensure that each student achieves his or her true potential by
learning how to solve problems creatively in laboratory, field or
other workplace setting. Each chapter describes state of the art
approaches to learning and teaching and will include case studies,
worked examples and a section that lists additional online and
other resources.
All of the chapters are written from the perspective both of
students and academics and emphasize and embrace effective
scientific method throughout. This title also draws on experience
from a major project conducted by the Centre for Bioscience, with a
wide range of collaborators, designed to identify and implement
creative teaching in bioscience laboratories and field
settings.
With a strong emphasis on students thinking for themselves and
actively learning about their chosen subject Effective
Learning in the Life Sciences provides an invaluable guide
to making the university experience as effective as possible.
