Funding for this course came from a National Science Foundation TUES (0941984), a Hoagland Award for Innovations in Undergraduate Teaching, an HHMI education grant, and a generous gift from a private donor. We thank the 700+ students who have participated in this course, in particular the students who took the course during the initial pilot phases, and the graduate student teaching assistants who helped teach the course, particularly Jared Wegner and Dan Van de Mark. Charles Anderson (now at Penn State University) first coined “QUERY” as an educational concept, and it has now been incorporated into the course. We are especially grateful to Nicole Bradon for her technical assistance in preparing reagents and equipment for the weekly student laboratories. We also acknowledge the support of colleagues in the Department of Biology, including Shyamala Malladi, Matt Knope, Waheeda Khalfan, Tad Fukami, and the leadership of our former department chairman, Bob Simoni. Additionally, Rich Shavelson and Matt Kloser at the Stanford Graduate School of Education were instrumental in early discussions of course assessment.
