This course is taught in an active-learning format, which means that students are responsible for reading or watching all of the materials below before the corresponding class. In active learning courses, students are involved in discussion, writing, problem-solving, and higher-order thinking during class time. The active learning activities that are planned for each class are shown below.
Make sure to read, watch, or listen to all content on each tab before the corresponding class!
If you are a FISH 521 student, this website will be your resource for all course content, but we will use Canvas for announcements, submitting assignments, and keeping track of grades.

Required preparation:
You have been assigned to review two real-life proposals submitted to funding agencies by Chelsea: either Proposals 1a and 1b or Proposals 2a and 2b. Here are the proposals:
Within each pair of proposals, one was funded and one was not. Your job is to provide a review of each proposal, using the NSF template (see NSF review criteria for details of what to look for). You do not need to submit your review, but you should complete it because it will prepare you to engage in the mock panel we will hold in class. For each pair of proposals, the panel will decide which to fund. I’ll tell you at the end of class whether you chose the same proposal that the funder chose.
