See the Two-Year Community column to learn how one group of authors integrated reading and comprehension skills in an introductory biology course for students requiring biology remediation in a community college. Another article explores whether large-enrollment introductory courses, with their challenges for both students and faculty, can be transformed by the use of learning assistants. And don't miss the Research and Teaching article that examines the use of group take-home exams in place of traditional exams as a way to reduce students' test anxiety, foster their interpersonal skills, and enable them to better apply and synthesize knowledge.
