In this highly structured and interactive teaching method, students perform preparatory activities outside of class to gain factual knowledge and understand basic concepts. In class, students collaborate with peers to apply content, analyze findings, and synthesize new ideas. To better understand the learning outcomes specific to TBL courses, we analyzed end-of-semester course evaluations from an undergraduate neuroscience course taught using either a moderate structure active learning or TBL format. Our analysis reveals that the TBL taught classes had significantly higher levels of self-reported learning in the areas of gaining, understanding, and synthesizing knowledge. We propose that these gains are driven by the TBL readiness assurance process and peer evaluations. Both of these structural components are expected to increase student accountability, motivation, and engagement with course content.Item Open Access Comparing Student Performance in Emergency Remote and Face-to-Face Collaborative Learning Courses(Journal of Undergraduate Neuroscience Education, 2023-05-13) Azizi, Yasmin; Hession, John; Newpher, ThomasItem Open Access Methods to Visualize Structural and Functional Changes at Synapses(Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2022-01-21) Newpher, ThomasItem Open Access Scd5p and Clathrin Function Are Important for Cortical Actin Organization, Endocytosis, and Localization of Sla2p in Yeast(Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2002-08-01) Henry, Kenneth R; D'Hondt, Kathleen; Chang, JiSuk; Newpher, Thomas; Huang, Kristen; Hudson, R Tod; Riezman, Howard; Lemmon, Sandra K
