Next, we look at how many biology topics can be explored through the use of video and animations. Yet many professors don't have time to find films that are well-suited for the classroom. And when students do see videos, they sometimes need guidance to help them focus on teaching points rather than just being entertained. That's why the new, Assignable Short Films produced by HHMI's BioInteractive... Assist instructors in not only using these videos to engage students in biology class lectures, but also in assigning the video activity as homework to reinforce concepts. The BioInteractive Short Films are accompanied by assessment questions that complement the concepts explored within the films. Mastering is the most effective and widely used online homework, tutorial, and assessment system for the sciences. Over three million science students are currently using Mastering in the following disciplines: Mastering Biology has many additional features that help students study for tests, complete assignments, and participate in class discussions. Additionally, this program helps students gain a deeper knowledge of core biological theories and concepts. Here are a few examples of how Mastering Biology can help.

I said to one of my young coworkers, you shouldn't apologize so much for being a mother. And it's not that she was really apologizing for being a mother but that was the situation she was struggling with emotionally. She didn't want to it come across as “dropping the ball” now that she had a child.

Students complete an initial set of questions with a unique answer format that asks them to indicate their confidence level. Once completed, Dynamic Study Modules provide students with explanations of the answer, using materials from the text. The questions repeat until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently. These modules can be accessed on smartphones, tablets, and computers, so students can study virtually anywhere, anytime.

Lourdes: I would say early on it was it was rather challenging. I wouldn't say it was academically difficult for me so much as it was an emotional challenge. I ended up constantly having to prove myself, over and over again, much more so than a lot of my male peers. It’s a recurring theme I hear from other women scientists, so it's nice that I wasn't alone, but it's also disappointing that that's still often the case for women in STEM. Learning Catalytics allows you to pose a variety of questions to help students recall ideas, apply concepts, and develop critical-thinking skills. Students can respond using their smartphones, tablets, or laptops. There were a lot of subtle biases against women, and even now women's voices don't get heard as often. Are you seeing the same challenges for young women entering STEM now? We’ve rounded up seven of Mastering’s best features that are sure to help the way you teach, engage, and ensure your students success. 7 Mastering features you can start leveraging today —
