Description Collection Description
These resources can be used to supplement text and lecture. Included is one tutorial, one supplemental reading, one paper to assign, and one activity for the classroom.

Describe how this collection was used.
This collection was used in a 200-level Anatomy & Physiology classroom to supplement the text and lecture material on protein synthesis. It is meant to provide a more holistic approach to the material than just a text plus lecture could.

Describe who used this collection (classroom, laboratory, education level, etc).
This collection was used in a 200-level Anatomy & Physiology classroom.

Describe how this collection works.
Three of the items in this collection (tutorial, supplemental reading, paper) were provided through an online platform and assigned to the students to complete as they progressed through the lecture material on protein synthesis. The fourth item (in-class role playing activity) was used by the instructor to engage the class in reviewing the material.

Please enter suggestions for colleagues.
The three items in this collection (tutorial, supplemental reading, paper) that were provided through an online platform were very easy to assign to the students. I gave them a few nominal points for completing each. The fourth item (in-class role playing activity) I used to help me slow down my lecture, allow students to take a break from note-taking, and provide time for review.

This collection provides quite a few resources for teaching a topic that is very important but very challenging to teach. I don't know if I'd use these for my 100 level Intro Bio course, but I would use it as a refresher for my upper level courses like my 200 level Physiology class. The review article on gene expression and muscle maintenance is extremely useful because it provides so many physiologically relevant examples of why protein synthesis is important. Sometimes it's tough for students to realize that translation is essential for synthesis of all proteins, including signalling proteins or structural proteins.
