Most students in our introductory biology courses and many students in our advanced biology courses will not enter careers in biology. Moreover, those entering careers in biology are likely to change. Does this influence the content and process skills we teach? Should it? How many facts should we expect our students to learn in introductory courses? Advanced courses? What process skills do we teach our students in introductory courses? Advanced courses? How do we equip our students with the flexibility to change jobs and careers multiple times throughout their lives?

We know that many of you have addressed these issues in creative ways in your classes. Please consider sharing your ideas and techniques at the 43rd ACUBE Annual Meeting in River Falls in 1999.

The Program Chair wishes to receive all information concerning presentations by 1 July 1999 so that the Program can be finalized and published on the Web and in Bioscene.
