For many undergraduate students, exploring the complexities of physics for the first time, from wading through advanced mathematics, to absorbing information in a large lecture format, can be a ...
As a full-time teacher completing a Ph.D. part-time, I made a decision early on: do research that speaks to the daily realities of teachers and teaching. And so, the idea came from a lived ...
“I wish he would just lecture instead of all this active learning stuff. I just want to sit back and take notes.” I overheard this walking behind two students exiting a large lecture class. The ...
