BIOTECHNOLOGY AND THE CURRICULUM FOR COLLEGE BIOLOGY

Contrary to some perceptions, the study of Biology is not only limited to memorization of terms and theories. More than that, the study of Biology requires students to be inquisitive and analytical in applying the different theories in the actual world.  That is why; a good curriculum for Biology Education should include subjects that are practical and problem-based.  In this way, the student’s thinking and practical skills will be triggered and enhanced.

The incorporation of Biotechnology in all Biology subjects should be given utmost importance and emphasis because its real-life applications are what this world currently needs. Biotechnology, by its definition, is a “technology based biology - biotechnology harnesses cellular and bio-molecular processes to develop technologies and products that help improve our lives and the health of our planet.”

Example includes Stem Cell Therapy, Gene Therapy, Bioremediation (the use of microorganisms to clean up wastes in the environment), etc.

"Ships on Seas"

Such a survey is prescribed under the Rules and Regulations for the Classification of the Ship (depending where your ship is registered)

The electrical survey guidance in this report is based on the periodical survey regulations of Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, London.

Other classification societies have their own rules which although similar to Lloyd’s,shouldbe consulted prior to an electrical survey.

Electrical equipment and services aboard ship must also meet the minimum standards by various national and international organization.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO GIVE HOMEWORK EFFECTIVELY

THE STUDENT'S KNOWLEDGE acquisition and skills development should not be limited in the four corners of the classroom where lessons and activities are time-constrained, and most of the time, teacher-centered. For that reason, it is important for teachers to employ mechanisms which will help their students to speed up the learning process, and at the same time, train their students to study independently. One of the many mechanisms that can be used to achieve these goals is to give Homework/Assignments.

Get Motivated in Just a Minute

Work motivation is one of the most widely research topics in I/O psychology. If you surveyed managers and asked them to list the most difficult aspects of their jobs, odds that the majority would mention difficulties in motivating workers as a particular problem. Look around you at work and in school. You will see some people who seem to put more energy and drive into their work, and others who try to get by with minimal effort. When we begin to infer some underlying process of effort, energy, or drive, we are trying to capture the elusive construct of motivation. Obviously, in any work settings there will be tremendous individual differences in the motivation to work.
