Large first-year biology classes, with their heavy emphasis on factual content, contribute to low student engagement and misrepresent the dynamic, interdisciplinary nature of biological science. We sought to redesign a course to deliver fundamental biology curriculum through the study of health, promote skills development, and encourage a deeper level of learning for a large, multi-section first-year class. We describe the Biological Concepts of Health course designed to encourage higher-order learning and teach oral communication and independent learning skills to large numbers of first-year students. We used the Blooming Biology Tool to determine the cognitive skills level assessed in the newly developed course and the courses it replaced. This evidence-based approach demonstrated that our new course design achieved the goal of encouraging a deeper level of cognition, and further, successfully introduced both oral communication and independent learning skills in large first-year classes. Resume En mettant l’emphase sur un contenu factuel, les grandes classes de biologie de premiere annee contribuent au faible engagement des eleves et donnent une representation imprecise de la nature dynamique et interdisciplinaire des sciences de la biologie. Afin d’offrir un programme fondamental en biologie par l’etude de la sante, de promouvoir le perfectionnement des competences et d’encourager un niveau d’apprentissage marque, nous avons repense un cours pour une grande classe de premiere annee contenant plusieurs sous-groupes. Nous decrivons le cours « Biological Concepts of Health » concu pour encourager l’apprentissage superieur, ainsi que pour enseigner la communication orale et les habiletes d’apprentissage individualise a un grand nombre d’etudiants de premiere annee. Pour determiner le niveau d’habiletes cognitives evalue dans ce cours nouvellement concu et les cours qu’il remplace, nous avons utilise le « Blooming Biology Tool ». Cette approche eprouvee demontre que ce nouveau cours a atteint son but d’encourager l’approfondissement des connaissances et, par ailleurs, a reussi a introduire la communication orale, de meme que les habiletes d’apprentissage individualise aux grandes classes de premiere annee.
