Is it possible to teach an ill-defined discipline?
- Avoid trying to encapsulate the core content.
- Don't encourage students to memorize details.
- Set your educational goals to match your own
expectations in genomics.
- Model your course on real-world experiences.
- Match your assessment methods to match your
goals.
- Combine your research interests with your teaching
goals.
- Teach genomics as a way of thinking and learning
rather than a body of knowledge.
