Transcript: Fragments are combined into 'contigs' by overlapping their sequences Teaching philosophies and curriculum development Genomics Dominate Themes (>100): Building a Curriculum With Modeling Tertiary Themes (<30) What variables matter? Sample Computation charting a path from the present to the future quantitatively... Are there relationships? Can we make equations? Future Projects What we might have missed... 3. How to get (and use) help outside their expertise... Karl Schmitt February 8th, 2013 1. How to solve problems... An Example Comparing Computer Science & Aggregate STEM Expansion of Genomics work STEM and Non-STEM students have similar expectations of learning activities Directive: Open Forum University of Minnesota - Rochester To Analyze: Current / Future Work Instructor Survey Instructors were surveyed for their perceptions of student expectations Questions mirrored student survey Responses received from 115 tenure-track faculty, 77 graduate students, and 68 other instructors Analysis of faculty perceptions (in progress) Comparison of faculty perceptions and student expectations Refine Student Survey Tool Improvements to pilot survey will be made based on faculty and student feedback The refined survey can be customized and available for individual faculty use What are the two most important things a quantitative faculty member can teach health science students? Examples: Policy Lexical Analysis future health professional What about infection spread throughout a city? future health professionals know... Even More Complex Models... Mammals have millions of base-pairs The recently sequenced pine had 16 billion base-pairs Expectations of Learning Activity Components Expectations of Learning Assessment Components Health-care policies Basic Disease Spread--- SIR Model Expectations of Learning Assessment Components Individualized movement Tracking interactions & infections Social networks To find the orientation (forward or reversed) for each contig which satisfies the most sets of mate-pairs We can predict a weight from the current age & weight, using statistical models and data... Expectations of Technology Components What are students interested in? Complex Systems & Networks can be applied to almost any problem.... Network Research Seniors expect more Discussion, fewer Demonstrations, and less use of the Chalkboard/Whiteboard compared to other students Open Ended Responses from www.wolframalpha.com The Orientation Problem Collaborative work in development with Dr. Carrie Eaton @ Unity College, Maine Can we define "evolution based rules" for building a graph structure? this needs an iterative algorithm, but students can design it! How to get (and use) help outside their expertise... Expectations of Learning Activity Components Faculty Misconceptions Students had the opportunity to comment on their perceptions of faculty misconceptions. Dominant themes included constraints on student time, student effort, and student attitude toward classes. Other themes were faculty communication, effectiveness of pedagogy, course pace, and overall comprehension. “We don't want to be engaged. I am very frustrated that so many of my classes are so geared toward the exam, yes I want to learn the information but I could just read a book. I want to be engaged.” “That students prefer an excessive amount of ‘easy’ questions on exams in comparison to a shorter amount of more difficult questions. “ “That the students know exactly what the faculty member expects of them…every teacher has their own standards and expectations.” “… many instructors fail to realize that we are simultaneously taking 3-4 other courses that are just as difficult as this one. Devoting yourself entirely to a single class just isn't possible.” We can then treat each contig as a node in a network, and the count of mate-pairs as edge weights Agent-Based Models & Simulations Secondary Themes (~40): Students tend not to expect E-Textbooks and Social Media Fewer Freshmen expect PowerPoint compared to other students Computational Methods Required! How to solve problems... Starting Interdisciplinary What do you need out? What tools are already being used? How to approach (huge amounts of) data? Abstract Quality learning is most likely to occur when teacher and student are communicating clearly and have shared expectations. Frequently, faculty are unclear about student expectations and/or have difficulty assessing them early in a semester. Yet, student expectations are important for faculty to understand for shaping their classroom environments. Understanding these varied expectations is considered to be integral in forming a responsive teaching environment. To address this concern we have created and piloted an online tool to evaluate undergraduate student expectations of course components (technology, instructor, learning assessment and learning activities) at the beginning of a semester. During the pilot survey, data was collected from 25 different courses at
