A self-study instructional booklet (e.g., can be assigned for homework) has been found to be effective for (a) students of varying backgrounds recruited from a psychology subject pool (Novick, Schreiber, &amp; Catley, 2014), (b) students enrolled in an introductory biology course for science majors (Novick &amp; Catley, 2016), and (3) biology majors enrolled in an upper-level biology class (Novick &amp; Catley, 2017). A phylogenetics laboratory activity has been found to be effective for both introductory and advanced biology students (Novick &amp; Catley, 2016, 2017).
