Figure 3. Experiential impact on students’ learning from biosensing modules.

(A) Sample timeline for performing Modules 1 through 3 in a week of experimental instructional learning, including pre- and post-lab surveys. (B) Survey results from 16 students who performed all three experimental modules. Black dots indicate the average scores (between 1 and 5) to the “comprehension” and “perspective” questions before performing the experiments, and red dots indicate scores afterwards. Bolded questions showed a significant (p < 0.05) increase in score across paired student replicates from a Wilcoxon signed-rank paired test. Questions match exactly what was present in the student surveys, with the exception of the first statement which was written in the negative form, “Studying biotechnology requires an expensive lab space”, and has been negated here for clarity.
