Want to learn genetics? Maybe the best approach is to to teach it to others! Professors Carole Gibson and Gloria Muday reported in a recent article that undergraduates learn more plant genetics by participating in a service-learning program than they do sitting in a classroom. Undergraduates enrolled in BIO 101 (Biology & the Human Condition) who taught genetics to middle and high school students as part of their coursework showed significant increases in content knowledge compared with other course content that they did not teach. The article was published in CBE-Life Sciences Education, and is available at http://www.lifescied.org/
