Application of case teaching in genetics courses to students majoring in forestry
Undergraduate students majoring in forestry generally reflect that genetics is one of the most difficult compulsory courses,because the traditional teaching method is difficult to satisfy their needs.According to the theoretical characteristics of forestry and actual demands of the students,in the light of teaching and research experience in recent years,we adopted a series of typical genetic cases such as'opening coffin to identify relatives',stem-throne of Lycium ruthenicum Murr,and magic powers in Harry Potter.Our practices revealed that the case teaching in genetics could train good personality traits,learning abilities and creativity of the students,stimulate their interests and initiatives in learning,and increase systematic learning.
