Adopt and Adapt: Integrating Quantitative Skills into Cases
Public Group active 8 years, 4 months agoPat Marsteller, Director, Center for Science Education, and Professor of Practice, Department of Biology, Emory University
In this workshop, participants will be introduced to principles of adapting cases to address quantitative skills development. Initially, we will work with examples of existing cases, adapting the learning outcomes to include analysis of datasets and other statistical and quantitative enhancements. We will employ tools such as Gapminder as well as simulations, games, and datasets. Each participant will bring or find a favorite case to work on. Sample cases will include biology, chemistry, physics, and anthropology topics from middle school to college levels.
