Guided Inquiry

Guided Inquiry will be implemented in introductory science and math classes as part of a shift to student-centered learning in active-learning environments. The inquiry-based initiatives in each science or math discipline will include different approaches, each within the Guided Inquiry framework.

• Chemistry I and II (CHEM 1145 and 1146 classes) will incorporate Guided Inquiry in the labs, and use the POGIL or other active learning approach in lecture
• Physics I and II (PHYS 2211 and 2212 classes) will be taught with the studio approach that integrates lecture and laboratory
• Biology I and II will emphasize problem-based learning in the course pedagogy and small, break-out groups during lecture periods
• Calculus I and II (MATH 1441 and 1442), pre-Calculus (MATH 1113) and Trigonometry (MATH 1112) will employ cooperative, inquiry-based learning and the use of realistic applications
