Abstract

Remote learning often requires an alternative to hands-on, student-designed research projects. To this end, we created a package of scaffolded assignments to support introductory students through the research process using datasets from past student projects. These assignments provide opportunities for active practice and feedback on skills in experimental design, data analysis, literature review, and scientific communication. While we created the assignments to be heavily guided and focused on organismal biology to support students in our particular course context, the documents are highly customizable to meet the learning objectives for other course formats, subjects, and levels.
