2. Active learning techniques
Webwork: discussed/reviewed at every session
Flipped classrooms: videos and attached questions
Exam corrections
Openlab: posts
Portfolios: collected and graded after each exam

3. problem: low participation
Some possible ways to increase participation:
more nuanced grading scheme: min(effort, quiz/exam grade +10)
Buddy system: pair responsible student with irresponsible
Make knowledge/understanding of syllabus part of exams (QL issue)
Incorporation of games

4. Accounting nightmare 5 or 6 auxiliary tasks each session per student
150 supplementary assessments for each student over a semester
5000 extra assessments for one section

5. Proposed solution: Make students responsible for their own accounting
Incorporate into the portfolio
