Introduction
Jeanette Mowery's "Protein Bioseparations" course: what it is, what happens in class, what changes Jeannette has undertaken and why, and some preliminary results.
The Setting
In this section, we introduce you to Jeanette Mowery and her colleagues and present the information necessary to understand the context within which they strive to achieve their goals for student learning.
Learning Problems and Goals
Here we examine Jeanette's initial reason for incorporating Andrew Booth's Protein Lab into her curriculum, the pedagogical problems that it helps solve, and the goals that she and her colleagues have for student-learning.
Creating the Learning Environment
In this section, we look closely at how the MATC faculty created their new learning environments, the tools they use, and the activities they assign.
Implementation
Wondering about the logistics? The MATC faculty share how they did it: from acquiring the necessary resources (money, space, computer-access , etc.), to personal resources such as determination, that allowed them to get over the obstacles that confronted them.
Conclusion
There needs to be a balance between giving students hands-on training, and the big picture of protein purification as it exists outside the college lab.
