Selected Modules

A set of molecular case studies have been selected for discussion and implementation for this Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN) in the Spring 2022 semester. These cases cover a range of topics in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, botany etc. so please select the one that best fits your course curriculum. Brief descriptions of these cases are included below.

Here is the complete list of published molecular case studies and cases for field testing.

Participating faculty will first be introduced to these cases and all the tools/resources necessary to run the cases. This will ensure that faculty who are new to the disciplinary contents and skills/tools needed for molecular structure-function discussions have the opportunity to read, learn, and prepare. Following this, participants will have the choice to take one of two paths - a. adopt, adapt, and implement at least one of these six cases in their classrooms and provide feedback about this experience; or b. collaborate with others to develop a new case for the Molecular CaseNet on a topic/story that they are familiar with.
