Abstract
Despite the more active learning involved in laboratory versus lecture setups, some students still need extra-curricular assistance to succeed in biology. Using the experience and research of members of professional academic assistance societies, we setup "UC Action" at our university to 1) offer assistance to students in biology (and other) courses, and to 2) increase the retention and graduation rates at our university. Data from our Introductory Zoology laboratory assistance indicate that number and duration of student visits correlated positively with course grade. Workshop participants brainstormed ideas for offering assistance to their biology students.
