...expressed purposes of the expansion of the Faculty—will be especially instrumental in improving teaching in the many areas of the sciences. Many large and textbook-driven introductory science courses fail to inspire, much less encourage, scientific research. However, a class such as the recently-instituted Molecular and Cell Biology 100, which emulates successful counterparts at the University of Chicago and Columbia University, allows students early on in their undergraduate careers to gain practical knowledge about the realities of scientific research. Notably, this particular course is only available to science concentrators...
