Figure 3.

Group work is a core element of BioLEd's design and implementation. This schematic shows the relationship between an individual student and her laboratory partner (inner shell), other pairs (middle shell), and the higher‐order association of groups who work on the same POI in a laboratory section (outer shell); the two distinct POI groups in a typical ≈20‐student laboratory section are indicated. Within one full term, various assignments occur at either the individual level, partner level, or POI‐group level (work at the POI‐group level is chiefly in the second semester).
