Description
Despite the importance of community colleges (CCs) in post-secondary education, we have little understanding of the landscape of math skills in instruction at these institutions. This research demonstrates the value of examining the need for quantitative skills in undergraduate biology education and intends a mixed method approach to identifying the unique challenges community college (CC) faculty experience with employing math or quantitative skills in biology classes.
