Finally, we explore how Mastering Biology can help instructors avoid spending too much class time teaching basic scientific skills. Many biology majors need to learn--or re-learn-basic scientific skills, which can take away from class time that could otherwise focus on the core concepts of biology. And while some students do well on basic exam questions, they sometimes struggle with test questions that require more critical thinking and application skills. But with Assignable Scientific Skill-Building Exercises... I look forward to the day when a young woman who says she's a scientist isn't told, “Well, you don't look like a scientist.” To be accepted in the discipline she's pursuing. To avoid harassment and all the challenges that so many women in STEM report and have experienced, myself included. So, I want that for my daughter and for all the young women out there who pursue this career path. And I think hearing those voices from women encourages more women to speak out about how we want to see our workplaces change; how we want to see STEM change. And that's important because it changes the culture, and it can change behavior. Next, we look at how many biology topics can be explored through the use of video and animations. Yet many professors don't have time to find films that are well-suited for the classroom. And when students do see videos, they sometimes need guidance to help them focus on teaching points rather than just being entertained. That's why the new, Assignable Short Films produced by HHMI's BioInteractive...

Lourdes: I would say early on it was it was rather challenging. I wouldn't say it was academically difficult for me so much as it was an emotional challenge. I ended up constantly having to prove myself, over and over again, much more so than a lot of my male peers. It’s a recurring theme I hear from other women scientists, so it's nice that I wasn't alone, but it's also disappointing that that's still often the case for women in STEM.

FOR EMPLOYERS

After class, “traditional” homework, quizzes, and testing automatically assess your comprehension of the material and provide opportunities for improvement.

Upon mastering a course, it’s etched in our minds along with much satisfaction and pride. That’s what happens for faculty and students alike using Pearson’s Mastering ® platform. It supports active, engaging, and immersive experiences while lightening the teacher’s workload.

There were a lot of subtle biases against women, and even now women's voices don't get heard as often. Are you seeing the same challenges for young women entering STEM now?

Not every student learns the same way and at the same rate. And now, thanks to advances in adaptive learning technology, you no longer have to teach as if they do. Mastering uses real time data and analytics, to reinforce concepts that target each student's strengths and weaknesses.Study resources- Mastering Biology includes several resources to help students study for quizzes and tests. Among these resources are virtual flashcards, simple animations and videos, vocabulary practice, and interactive activities. These resources help students to better understand and practice key concepts.
