Abstract:
In the fully online version of Principles of Biochemistry, learning objectives are rubric assessed through participation in and collaborative summary of online discussion threads. However, what makes this practice unique is the nature of the topics discussed; from the abuse of Ritalin and Adderall as scholastic performance enhancers to the biochemical biosynthesis and impact of marijuana, these topics matter and students can see the implications and applications at the interfaces of their lives and biochemistry.
