In a previous post, I discussed the two phenotypes of the introductory biology student. One, the ultra-achiever in high school, is accustomed to following detailed rubrics for coursework, juggling multiple after school obligations like music lessons, an organized sport team, possibly a volunteer or paid job and perhaps so many different classes that lunch and homework were crammed into small time fragments during the day or late at night. These high school super stars follow the rubrics and get A’s.
