Using Emergenetics® to form effective student teams and students in high failure rate core courses.

KEYWORDS: Emergenetics®, neuroscience, teamwork

Required core courses across various majors have lower passage rates than upper level courses. Student success in these courses is important for their subsequent collegiate success. Personality and learning style inventories have been used to form student groups with varied success. We have used a newer tool based on neuroscience and psychology. Using individual profiles to form teams has been successful in reducing failure rates among students in core courses that have had the highest failure rate.

In this session, we take participants through an interactive tour of Emergenetics®, demonstrating how it can best be used to enhance student success.
