Dear Colleague, As part of an NSF-funded study on science curriculum developed for an undergraduate general education Biology course (IRB project #2011-10034-0), I am conducting a survey of faculty beliefs about the critical science literacy skills that students should master by taking an undergraduate general education biology course for non-science majors. The purpose of this study is to advance the functional science literacy of undergraduates in these courses.
As an instructor of these general education biology courses, you are invited to participate in this study a web-based survey that should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Feel free to forward this message to others in your department if you are not currently teaching this type of course, but you are invited to participate even if your general education course is taken by biology majors (mixed majors and non-majors). Individually-identifiable answers are strictly confidential. No report will identify any individual person, research unit, or academic institution. Please read the informed consent form at the survey site before participating in the survey. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me either through email ([email protected]) or phone (706) 542-1690.
 
The online survey is available at http://bit.ly/lpXYvS

 Thank you for your time, Peggy Brickman
