Help students stay engaged and prepare for class with
Freeman's Readiness Readings


Available with our Introducing the Life Sciences course, Scott Freeman’s Readiness Readings are:

  • Aligned to NSF-funded, nationally endorsed learning objectives. 163 nationally endorsed lesson-level learning objectives provide biology majors with clear expectations of what they should know and be able to do.

  • Streamlined and written for students. Students read only the content they need for each class session, which reduces their inclination to try to memorize everything.

  • Active and engaging. Students answer guiding questions while they read and practice metacognition by marking sections clear or muddy.

  • Customizable. Instructors can customize every element of a Readiness Reading to match exactly what they want to teach.

  • Assignable. Instructors assign readings for points — making students accountable for reading — and track their progress in the instructor application.
