[bioundgrd] Take a 20-minute survey and get a $15 Amazon gift card!

[Joyce Roberge]

Dear Biology students,

Are you in Course 7? Would you like to earn a $15 Amazon gift card for 20 minutes of your time?

If so, we are inviting you to participate in the opportunity to evaluate a survey that assesses students' understanding of experimental design. This survey is currently being evaluated by the STAR (Software Tools for Academics and Researchers) team within MIT's Biology Department and the Office of Digital Learning for use in future studies. If relevant, we would like to use this assessment tool to explore how students think about experimental design when designing experiments in StarGenetics, a genetics experiment simulator, and StarCellBio, a cell biology experiment simulator, both of which were developed and are used at MIT and around the world.

We are inviting you to take the 20-minute survey between the hours of 9 am and 4:30 pm on either Wednesday, September 17th or Thursday, September 18th. You will be able to take the survey in a location on MIT campus, with the details regarding the exact location to be provided later. Participants will receive a $15 Amazon gift card as a thank you for participating in the survey evaluation.

If you are interested in participating in this opportunity, please complete the brief form found at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1PMyfBHE5Y47kEbsFC5qHuUWyo_2U_KEUtaV0kpSJr38/viewform?usp=send_form by Friday, September 12th. Once you have completed the form, a member of the team will contact you to confirm your participation and provide further details.

If you have any questions, please contact us at ald32 at mit.edu<mailto:ald32 at mit.edu> or laleman at mit.edu<mailto:laleman at mit.edu>.

Thank you in advance for your participation!

Thank you,
Alison Brauneis & Lourdes Alemán
The STAR team & MIT Biology Department's HHMI Education Group
