You know, the bag. Bag of fat that is. Ten months work will be put to the test tomorrow when the College Board assesses what students know about fundamental biology. Looking back at the AP Biology Learning Objectives I’ve laid out, I think I guided my teachers correctly. Next year, we’ll continue working on engaging students and translating the material to students. I can’t help but think about something I wrote here over 8 months ago…we should use our class time to engage the students as much as possible, anything they can do on their own (e.g. read, finish lab write ups, study, look at power point slides) should be done on their own. We need to teach and assess so that we know are students are learning…and create a culture where they are equal partners in their own learning.
