Fall 2010 Workshop:
The SYMBIOSIS annual meeting will
coincide with the ASTE 2010 Mid-Atlantic Region Meeting
on September 23-25 in Johnson City, TN
ASTE
Summer 2008 Workshop:
This 3-day, all expenses paid, hands-on workshop will
explore the Symbiosis project from a number of
different angles, including
-
Symbiosis I : (IBMS 1100)
The Integration of Biology and Elementary
Statistics
-
Symbiosis II: (IBMS 1200) The
Integration of Biology and Calculus I
-
Laboratory Experiences:
Data Collection and Statistical Analysis
-
Symbiosis III (IBMS 1300):
The Integration of Biology and Discrete
Math/Informatics.
The Symbiosis Curriculum is
module-based (see list of modules on the right), with each
module consisting of approximately 9 lectures and 2 lab,
with supporting supplementary and assessment
materials. The modular form allows the curriculum to
scale to your courses needs -- as a full course, using only
select modules, or even using select "mini-modules"
extracted from the modules themselves.
This workshop introduces and explores all these
possibilities, and your feedback will be both welcomed and
solicited. In fact,
transportation, meals, and lodging are paid
for
by the
Howard Hughes Medical Institute via a
grant supporting the development and dissemination of the
Symbiosis Project.
