. Active Learning Supported more and more by research Supported more and more by research Recent summary article: Recent summary article: Active learning increases student performance in science, engineering, and mathematics (Freeman et al., PNAS : )

. Active Learning Active learning increases student performance in science, engineering, and mathematics (Freeman et al., PNAS : ) Upshot, from an by one of the authors: We reviewed 642 studies, 225 made it into the study. Studies were from across all STEM undergrad courses. Bottom line: *fail rate with active learning is 21.8%, fail rate with lecture is 33.8% - that is an increase of 55%! We reviewed 642 studies, 225 made it into the study. Studies were from across all STEM undergrad courses. Bottom line: *fail rate with active learning is 21.8%, fail rate with lecture is 33.8% - that is an increase of 55%! *grades in active learning classes increase by half a standard deviation, which in our courses equals half a letter grade *grades in active learning classes increase by half a standard deviation, which in our courses equals half a letter grade

. The bad:

. Shattering illusions can be sad.

. The bad: Shattering illusions can be sad. More engaged = more work
