Campus Conversation Seminar Series Spring 2005 Links to Example Human Biology Programs Seminar Series Schedule with Links to Summaries Summary of the First Month of Conversation (pdf)

Human Biology Summer Institute 2005 The Human Biology Summer Institute was held May 18th, 19th, 20th, 23rd and 24th 2005 at the University Club in the Indiana Memorial Union. During these five intense days, seven courageous faculty members were engaged in understanding what it means to developmentally construct a core curriculum in Human Biology. Student outcomes for the curriculum were constructed across the core and for each of the four courses comprising the core curriculum. The design team initiated an outline of course structure and content that would achieve the conceived outcomes. Design Team Meetings During the Summer 2005: June 30th [Humbio 101 and 201 completed] July 29th [Humbio 301 and 401 completed] August 25th [synthesis of the core curriculum] Summer Institute 2005 Announcement (pdf)

Human Biology An Integrative Curriculum Fostering Self-Authorship in Undergraduate Students "Self-authorship is simultaneously a cognitive (how one makes meaning of knowledge), interpersonal (how one views oneself in relationship to others), and intrapersonal (how one perceives one's sense of identity) matter." Baxter Magolda. 1999. Creating Contexts for Learning and Self-Authorship Integrative Learning (pdf) What is integrative learning? Case-Based Learning Case-Based learning is one signature pedagogy of the Human Biology Curriculum. This link provides resources for developing, implementing and assessing case-based teaching and learning. Team-Based Learning Team-Based learning is a signature pedagogy of the Human Biology Curriculum. Collaborative, cooperative, and active learning strategies in general engage students and foster teaching and learning partnerships in and outside the classroom.
