Encourage engaged and deeper learning in an introductory Botany course

Work with an introductory Botany course to encourage conceptual, connected learning. This is an opportunity to work with a large, introductory course and promote deeper learning that connects plant structure, function, and evolution. The teaching plan and materials an intern develops would align learning outcomes, assessments to monitor and provide feedback, and engaging activities which focus on and connect concepts rather than disconnected memorization of facts.
