Signature Assignment
Throughout the BIOL 1610 course, I was asked to do three group assignments in relation to the topics discussed from the lectures. We did group assignments on chemistry, cellular respiration, and genetics. The assignment I picked as my signature assignment is our last group assignment on genetics. We received excellent comments from our professor, and she wanted a copy of it as an example of excellent student work.
Reflection
I learned a numerous amount of information from this group assignment on genetics. I learned how to work well with groups, and I learned from others because each person has their own learning style. We taught each other and learned from one another. I learned concepts better and it sticks with me as I tell it to someone. Working in groups will definitely help me in the long run with later group assignments and exercises. I have learned that two or more brains are better than one and that studying with other students as a group will lead to success. I didn't come with much difficulty in the assignment because everyone in our group got along well and each person had great input and suggestions from what they learned in class.
