Riassunto

A collection of articles linked to both an introduction to genetic analysis and modern genetic analysis, "Understanding Genetics" describes methods for helping students improve their ability to process and integrate new information. The authors provide specific solutions to problems faced in a genetics classroom, including activities that will encourage students to discuss genetics, how to identify and work around the difficulties in the "language" of genetics and new ideas on how to organize lectures.
