Clyde Freeman Herreid – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2015
A case that reads well on paper can absolutely fail in the classroom unless the faculty member is up to the task. This article focuses on why the teaching notes are vital to the success of a case, and how they are often more difficult to write then the case story itself.

Goffe, William L.; Kauper, David – Journal of Economic Education, 2014
For many years, surveys have shown that lecture is the dominant method for teaching principles of economics (Watts and Schaur 2011; Watts and Becker 2008; Becker and Watts 1996, 2001a, b). The authors confirm this and augment it by asking why principles instructors teach the way they do. The respondents, 340 principles instructors at the 2012…

Craig, Paul A.; Michel, Lea Vacca; Bateman, Robert C. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2013
As biochemists, one of our most captivating teaching tools is the use of molecular visualization. It is a compelling medium that can be used to communicate structural information much more effectively with interactive animations than with static figures. We have conducted a survey to begin a systematic evaluation of the current classroom usage of…

Schwerdt, Guido; Wuppermann, Amelie C. – Education Next, 2011
In recent years, a consensus has emerged among researchers that teacher quality matters enormously for student performance. Students taught by more-effective teachers learn substantially more over the course of the year than students taught by less-effective teachers.
