Fig 7. Using G-OnRamp in a CURE.

Classroom implementation with G-OnRamp genome browsers. A. Implementations of the parasitoid wasp project during 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 characterized by institution type (n = 15), course level (n = 16), and course format (n = 16). B. Results from a survey of faculty who have used a G-OnRamp–generated genome browser in a course. Participants were asked to respond on a 5-point Likert Scale with NA as an option; of the 14 faculty responding to this portion of the survey, the four checking “NA” for these questions were removed before calculating percentage responses, giving n = 10. Responses are shown by percentage of respondents. C. Mean annotation post-course test scores: The mean for the wasp group is 9.1 (N = 173; SD = 3.6) and the mean for the other GEP students is 9.5 (N = 1,185; SD = 3.5). The difference is not significant (bars represent the means; error bars represent one standard deviation). D. Responses to the SURE survey questions: The means for the wasp project students are in red (N ranges from 181 to 195, as some students did not answer all questions) and the means for the other GEP students (working in Drosophila) are in green (N ranges from 1,200 to 1,270). For some items, the wasp group scores significantly higher than the comparison group; however, these results should be interpreted with caution, given the small sample size.
