Description
This mini-case study was developed for and used in an upper division biology course with 14 students (sophomore/junior standing) about 4 weeks into the semester and after a full lecture had be delivered on biogeography and the assignment of the associated SimUText chapter. Students worked in pairs and an introduction of the activity (the first page and half) were given as a pre-lecture reading assignment, then reviewed for ~5 minutes in the beginning of the class. Students were then given 30-45 minutes to complete the activity, with the instructor roaming the room to check in on student progress and ask guiding questions to advance the students’ progress.
