Sarcomere in the classroom: learning with undergraduate group projects

Researching each protein took a fair amount of time and proved to be a task worth putting extra effort into. Since a few team members were unable to make the out of class meetings to work on the sarcomere model, they instead focused on the research or writing portion of the assignment. At the beginn...

Description
Summary:	Researching each protein took a fair amount of time and proved to be a task worth putting extra effort into. Since a few team members were unable to make the out of class meetings to work on the sarcomere model, they instead focused on the research or writing portion of the assignment. At the beginning of the project, most people were motivated only by the promise of extra credit, but no matter their field of interest, whether it was veterinary medicine, zoology, animal management, or human medicine and therapy, the majority agreed in the end that expanding our knowledge on the skeletal muscle sarcomere would ultimately benefit all of us by providing a universal application of what we had learned in class to our future careers.
