Dr. Pat
Marsteller (NBB, Emory) worked with Leah Anderson,
a graduate student in Neuroscience, to create cases for NBB 190
(Mismeasure of Woman, Mismeasure of Man). The course is currently
being taught in the Spring 2005 semester. The cases are problem-based
and center around the major topics typically covered during the
semester such as: hormones & behavior, testing & intelligence,
single-sex education, and chromosomes & gender. After reviewing
the cases, the students will have the opportunity to respond through
a variety of mediums like debate-style discussions, persuasive writing
assignments, interactive websites, newspaper articles, or other
individual creations. This course is a freshman seminar, but some
of the cases might be implemented in introductory biology classes
as well.
