HOW HAVE WE SCALED UP CUREs IN OUR LARGE INTRODUCTORY LABS TO ACCOMMODATE UP TO 50 SECTIONS PER YEAR?

 

Step 1.  Lab Director and Researcher collaborate to find a research project that provides opportunities for many hands to participate in over many years.

Step 2.  Lab Director develops course design and day-to-day activities with consultation from the researcher and help from TAs.

Step 3.  A pilot is run with one or a few sections during summer school.
.

Step 4.  Communication tools, such as videos, are developed to ensure the student can “meet” the researcher they are collaborating with in their research project.
.  

Step 5.  Course is tweaked and expanded to more section over the academic year.  Graduate Research Consultants are added to some class sessions (in addition to TAs) to help mentor students through research.

 


INTRODUCTORY BIOLOGY

Students will be collaborating in an ongoing research project with Dr. Elizabeth Shank, a scientist in the Biology Department. Specifically, the Shank lab is interested in studying how different bacteria interact via small molecules produced by microbes. These molecules are important sources of therapeutic drugs for humans, and include antibiotics, antifungals, anticancer drugs, and immunosuppressive agents which most students connect to. The goal for the students in the course is to discover new small molecules secreted from soil microorganisms through the co-culture screening that students perform on many soil samples. Students will experience iteration by performing many screens on many samples and collaborate with each other to answer questions. In addition to using this type of co-culture screening, students will also use microbiology techniques such as plate streaking, isolating pure cultures, performing serial dilutions of bacteria to determine cell density and using fluorescent microscopy to help identify soil microbes.

INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY

Students will be working in collaboration with a real-time outreach project related to solar fuels, funded by the NSF Center for Chemical Innovation and the Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation, Inc.  Students will be collaborators with UNC’s Dr. Jillian Dempsey and her research team on a project, known as HARPOON (Heterogeneous Anodes Rapidly Perused for Oxygen Over potential Neutralization).

Students will screen nonprecious metal oxides to find combinations and concentrations that function as catalysts to split water for use as a solar fuel.  The project allows students to develop their own focused research questions and hypotheses about the most promising metals and combinations.  Through this project, students will run experiments using electrochemistry and fluorescence spectroscopy.  Students will collaborate in teams and will submit their experimental results and research papers to the growing HARPOON database.

Faculty: Marc Alperin, Department of Marine Sciences

North Carolina is home to some of the nation’s most productive, most scenic, and most threatened estuaries. This class will use the Neuse River estuary as a case study to examine both natural processes and human impacts on estuarine systems. The course includes one week of field work based at the Institute of Marine Sciences. The class is heavily “hands-on” and will blend field research, laboratory analyses, and data synthesis and interpretation. The course is suitable for both science and non-science majors, and will use team-based, cooperative-learning to accommodate differences in student’s math and science backgrounds. The Maymester format (three intense weeks) is ideal for extensive team interactions and a week-long field trip. (Satisfies Experiential Education [EE] and Physical Life Science with Lab [PX] requirements.)

Please see video for additional information about the course.
