Biology Students Math Attitudes and Anxiety Program (BIOMAAP): a QUBES Faculty Mentoring Network
Quantitative Undergraduate Biology Education Synthesis (QUBES) is pleased to offer a unique networking and professional development opportunity from January– June 2019 for faculty interested in alleviating math anxiety in undergraduate biology students. Quantitative skills are essential for student success in biology, and math attitudes and anxiety can have strong effects on both persistence and performance. This mentoring network will familiarize faculty with background on how math attitudes can impact Biology students, and help participants explore a range of tools to address math attitudes and anxiety in their Biology courses. QUBES (https://qubeshub.org) is an NSF-funded virtual center that supports collaboration to promote quantitative biology education at the undergraduate level.
