Mock Grant Application Roleplay as an Alternative to Lab-Based Activities in Molecular Biology
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, v49 n4 p518-520 Jul-Aug 2021
Many universities resort to online teaching due to COVID-19 pandemic. It is a challenging endeavor, especially in Molecular Biology courses that require lab access. Mock grant application roleplay is one alternative to lab-based activities. Students are engaged in three aspects: (i) targeted literature review, (ii) research proposal writing and (iii) 5-min project pitching. The design of this module is flexible and, other lab-based courses can adopt it. This module encourages undergraduate students to explore the lab techniques they learnt and concisely present their research proposal.
