This is a list of the requirements for participating in this Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN). You must complete each of these items in order to receive the 2023 Molecular CaseNet Education Scholar certificate.

Detailed instructions for sharing final products will be distributed in late-November but an overview of the expectations has been shared below.

1. Be an active participant for the entirety of the network
2. Implement at least one molecular case study in class during the Fall 2023 semester
3. Develop a new Molecular Case Study (Optional)
4. Share your final products

Be an active participant for the entirety of the network

To accomplish this goal, you must:

• Attend all of the FMN group meetings
• Post responses to online pre- and post-FMN survesy
• Be a participant/facilitator for a group meeting

Implement a molecular case study in class during the Fall 2023 semester

To complete this expectation you must:

• Select and implement at least one of the published molecular case studies or drafts for piloting.
• Implement the case study in class - you can use the case study as is or with modifications to meet the needs of your course/curriculum.
  • Your implementations should preferably be done in at least two class periods of your Fall 2023 course(s) so that you can assess impact on student learning.
  • You may implement a small portion of the case, or the whole thing. You may even choose to implement parts of the case in separate courses (i.e. in your intro biology or chemistry course and also in your biochemistry course).
• Post a reflection of your implementation in the forum and respond to surveys about your and your students' experiences with the case
• In case you are not teaching a course this semester where you can implement a molecular case study, please review at least one published case study and post a reflection about it.

Note: If you have a question, please don't hesitate to ask one of your group leaders or bring it up for discussion in one of the FMN meetings.

Develop a new Molecular Case Study (strongly encouraged)

You can choose to develop a case study, either independently or in collaboration with a colleague or Molecular CaseNet member. To get authorship on the case study, you must participate in at least three of the following activities:

• come up with the story - case idea
• do literature research and gather materials for writing up the case
• define subject/content specific learning objectives that is covered in the case
• develop/identify suitable images/videos or other facts to engage the students in the case
• identify relevant molecular structures/complexes that should be explored in the case
• write up a first complete draft of the case (including answer keys)
• write the Teaching Notes for the molecular case study

Share your final products to the QUBES Hub

We ask that you share your teaching materials (teacher notes, curriculum materials, assessments, etc.) for new and adapted case studies. Detailed instructions on this process will be posted in mid- to late-November.

We understand that scheduling meetings for a group of very busy faculty participants is difficult. If you have an unexpected conflict and are unable to attend a meeting, please let your group leaders know in advance.
