Building on and Integrating Previous Knowledge - by Ann Burgess
Why I like this activity
Based on students' performance on the worksheets and on comments from our Board of Directors and written course evaluations, the course succeeds in bringing students to the point where they can begin reading and understanding the current literature. We were surprised at how many of the concepts that had been "covered" in previous courses were not known to students and had to be revisited. Although most students are quite skeptical about our approach at the beginning of the semester, most are very enthusiastic about the class by the end. Class participation and attendance is much higher now than it was when this class was taught as a lecture course.
