Assistant Professor of Instruction

and

Dr. Lauren DePue

Assistant Professor of Practice

University of Texas at Austin

Freshman students at the University of Texas participate in either inquiry-based classroom Introductory Biology labs or opt into the Freshman Research Initiative (FRI) to meet their lab requirements. Both programs aim to improve student engagement in science and to build research skills.  Dr. Maas will discuss current curriculum for the class labs and Dr. DePue will discuss the FRI which matches over 900 students to research projects every year.  Logistics of managing these programs will be discussed.
