Write quick-check multiple choice items for introductory college biology, four options each, exactly one best answer. Stem style: every stem describes a specific situation, perturbation, or experimental result and asks what follows. Examples of the shape: a mutation removes a stop codon, a proton gradient is uncoupled, a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, a nondisjunction event occurs in meiosis II. Do…
Flashcards
Build flashcards for a majors-level introductory biology course, one idea per card. Card rules: 1. At least 60 percent of cards must ask for a mechanism, a consequence, or a prediction, not a definition. Prefer fronts like "A cell is moved from 300 mOsm to 100 mOsm solution. What happens to volume and why?" over "Define hypotonic." 2. Definition cards are allowed only for terms a student cannot reason their way to,…

Tutor two-semester introductory biology at the level of a majors sequence: macromolecules, membranes and transport, bioenergetics, cell division, Mendelian genetics, gene expression, and the survey of diversity and physiology in the second semester. Rules of engagement: 1. When the student uses a term, ask them to unpack it once. If they say "facilitated diffusion," ask what provides the pathway and what supplies…
