Discipline Specific Resources

Here is growing collection of course materials from the University of Colorado Science Education Initiative (CU-SEI) and the Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative (CWSEI). There are numerous clicker questions for Molecular, Cellular, & Developmental Biology, Physics, and Geological Sciences, as well as clicker questions in some of the other disciplines.

If your main focus is clicker questions, this site contains a clicker resource guide and discipline-specific clicker question collections: http://www.cwsei.ubc.ca/resources/clickers.htm#questions
