Riverland Biology Instructor Pamela Tranby has been accepted to the Case Studies in Science Workshop, taking place at the University at Buffalo May 21-25, 2007.  Tranby is one of 40 participants nationwide invited to participate in this prestigious workshop.

Sponsored by the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science with support from the National Science Foundation, this five-day workshop focuses on training college science faculty (with a particular focus on faculty who teach at the undergraduate level) to teach with case studies, to write their own cases, and to assess their students' learning with cases.

The Workshop Director is Dr. Clyde (Kipp) Herreid, a Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Biological Sciences Department at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. Herreid is the author of a column on case studies regularly featured in the Journal of College Science Teaching and Director of the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science.
