The Graph Rubric: Development of a Teaching, Learning, and Research Tool.

ABSTRACT: As undergraduate biology curricula increasingly aim to provide students with access to courses and experiences that engage them in the practices of science, tools are needed for instruction, evaluation, and research around student learning.
