Adopting and Adapting Supplemental Instruction, Digital Homework and Adaptive Learning in BIOL 200

Supplemental instruction, digital homework and adaptive learning were implemented - for the second year- in the first quarter (of a 3 quarter series) of general biology course. The SI model adopted was the UKMC model, digital homework and adaptive learning were mandatory part of the course and we utilized the package provided by the publisher of the textbook used in the course. Both SI and digital homework benefited the students. Students with higher incoming GPA who attended the majority of SI sessions achieved the higher grades than students who had lower GPAs and did not attend a significant number of SI sessions.
