ICB Improves Student Outcomes at Michigan State Univ.

Integrating Concepts in Biology

Biology faculty member Doug Luckie has used ICB for a few years, and has collected student learning outcomes showing that changing textbooks has a significant impact. Using three different assessment instruments (Biology Concept Inventory, MCAT, card sorting), his students out performed students using a traditional textbook. His students also did better in upper level courses. You can read the full story at their peer-reviewed publication.
