Rein, Kathleen S.; Brookes, David T. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
We report the student response to a two-year transformation of a one-semester organic chemistry course for nonchemistry majors. The transformed course adopted a peer led team learning approach and incorporated case studies. Student attitudes toward the course transformation were assessed throughout the semester, and adjustments to the methods were…

Martineau, Carolyn; Traphagen, Stephen; Sparkes, Timothy C. – Journal of Biological Education, 2013
University instructors are challenged to involve large student populations with varying pre-existing knowledge in authentic inquiry. We present a model in which students collaborate to design and run their own experiment and engage in peer evaluation. In the model, students in different lab sections of a multi-section course explore alternative…

Many faculty are…
