Mike Klymkowsky has set up a great bioliteracy website
<http://bioliteracy.net/>, and is currently attempting to collect and
analyze teachers opinions as to what makes teaching evolutionary
biology difficult.
He has requested help (APPENDIX) in communicating his effort to
biology teachers.
Please do consider answering the important survey question at
<http://bioliteracy.net/> by [expanding Klymkowsky's terse
instructions (APPENDIX)]:
a. clicking on the left margin link "answer survey questions"
b. at "Please select school" select "Teachers"
c. click on "submit"
d. Click on the appropriate buttons and then type your answer to the question:
THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGE I FACE WHEN TEACHING THE THEORY OF
EVOLUTION IS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "
in the box "Anything else we should know"
e. click on submit
Thanks.
If you have questions or comments please contact Mike Klymkowsky

BTW: The counterpart question for physics and chemistry teachers is:
THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGE I FACE WHEN TEACHING THE THEORY OF THE
BIG BANG IS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "

We are looking to collect and analyze teachers opinions as to what
makes teaching evolutionary biology difficult.
We would greatly appreciate it if we could get teachers to answer the
following question on the bioliteracy website
<http://bioliteracy.net> - Follow the "answer survey question" link
and sign through "Teachers" /"Opinions":
"THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGE I FACE WHEN TEACHING THE THEORY OF
EVOLUTION IS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "
