- #3: An ounce of preparation is worth a pound of learning!
- #5: Hi! I am: http://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/wurkr4haRHQQFgW
- #6: I teach: http://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/jRRkKWYf3M8ityR
- #7: Before a class begins, my students typically _____________. http://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/zHcvXwsIPkx8cUM
- #8: I lecture between _______% of class time.http://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/KM8YPjXGOboeLnn
- #9: My students learn better through __________________. http://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/JaLmd8UW7QDwQ9D
- #11: Activities designed around critical learning outcomes and that require each student to fully engage in complex thinking
- #12: Laws’ results show studentsquadrupling the number of studentswhounderstand force concepts, triplingthoseunderstandingacceleration, and nearlydoublingthoseunderstandingvelocity. Similarly,in a studywith over 6000 physicsstudents, conceptual test scores doubled in Hake’s courses, givingtwo standard deviations of improvement. Studies by Laws, Hake, and Redishprovidesignificantevidence in favor of activelyengagingstudents, whichthey show to beparticularly effective in correctingfundamentalmisconceptions.
- #13: Johnson, Johnson, and Smith conducted four studies, and Springer et al. conducted one study on cooperative learning with the effect sizes shown above. An effect size of 0.3 is considered medium and 0.5 is considered strong. Even the least effective study had students moving from the 50th to the 70th percentile! Results from technical programs using collaborative learning showed a 22% reduction in attrition, which is great for retention rates.
- #14: PBL for cooperative and for instruction to improve problem solving skills are huge – not so much in non-expert tutors

- #53: Faculty Focus article from this past week by Paul B. Thornton1. Direct: start with big picture, be clear & concise, provide detail, don’t sugar-coat2. Discuss: prepare questions in advance, ensure equal time for all students, have students create questions, and use clickers3. Delegate: assign research projects, team projects, or a capstone project.The best teachers do all three!
