We are committed to creating a safe and respectful space for learning, teaching
and contributing. Instructors and students in Biol 3023 are expected to show
respect and courtesy to others. All interactions should be courteous and
professional regardless of platform, either online or in-person.
In this course you are required to familiarize yourself with the social
expectations that help in removing obstacles for learning. These are the <a href="https://www.recurse.com/social-rules"target="_blank">four social rules by the Recurse Center.</a>
</p>
<br>
<p style="display:block;width:100%;margin:auto;font-size:large">You are further encouraged and expected to communicate with the Dr. Wiggins
regarding questions, technical difficulties, conflicts, etc.

<h3 style="display:block;width:100%;margin:auto;"><b>Course Philosophy</b></h3>
<p style="display:block;width:100%;margin:auto;font-size:large"> Read a detailed and cited explaination of my teaching philosophy and the literature that supports it <a href="https://wigginstemplate.blogspot.com/2023/01/course-structure-rationale.html" target="_blank">here.</a>.</p>
<p>One of the core tenets of successful learning is that learning <i>requires challenge</i>. This course will be challenging. It will challenge your preconcieved notions and challenge you to deepen and extend from simple memorization into conceptual understanding.</p>
<hr>
<br>
<p style="display:block;width:100%;margin:auto;font-size:large"> Research indicates that grades
can and do hinder learning, that mistakes are critical to brain growth,
and that reevaluation and correction of those mistakes solidifies understanding.
</p>
<br>
<p style="display:block;width:100%;margin:auto;font-size:large">It is the goal of the course
that you to truly learn genetics rather than engage in a competition to see how little
work can get you the highest grade (which is something research shows grades encourage).
To this end, some of this course operates using the strategy termed “ungrading.” If you’d
like to read more about ungrading check out this excellent <a href="https://www.chemedx.org/blog/ungrading-what-it-and-why-should-we-use-it"target="_blank">blogpost</a> (with citations),<a href="https://www-chronicle-com.argo.library.okstate.edu/article/grades-can-hinder-learning-what-should-professors-use-instead/"target="_blank">this article</a>
, and this <a href="https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2019-68674-001/"target="_blank">metaanalysis.</a> </p>
<br>
<p style="display:block;width:100%;margin:auto;font-size:large">
Additionally, you will have an opportunity to dissect one incorrect homework problem
each week to earn full credit. See "Links & Examples"
