Course
description
In this
course the student will learn about Geomicrobiology using a Journal
Club format. The main goals are to read, present and
discuss current research studies in the Geomicrobiology field to
understand the role microorganisms exert on the geological formations of
the planet. In addition the student will learn about the
adaptations required for the organisms to survive in extraterrestrial
atmospheres.
Gallery Run,
a sped up version of
Gallery Walk, was held after the student's
oral presentation of the scientific article in the
Geomicrobiology course. Gallery Walk is a
discussion technique for active engagement.
|
In Gallery
Run as well as in Gallery Walk
teams rotate around the classroom, composing answers to
questions as well as reflecting upon the answers given by other
groups. Questions are posted on a piece of paper located
in different areas of the classroom. Each station has a
question that relates to an important concept presented in the
scientific article. The activity closes with an informal
and short oral report in which each group synthesizes comments
to a particular question.
