12 Active Learning: Peer Instruction Well-defined Pedagogical Methodology – Before class Students perform pre-class preparation – In class Students answer and discuss 4-6 questions per class The instructor dynamically adjusts class based on student understanding

13 Peer Instruction 1.Students individually consider and respond to a multiple choice question Mazur, E. Peer Instruction: A User's Manual. Prentice Hall, 1997.

14 Peer Instruction 1.Students individually consider and respond to a multiple choice question 2.Students discuss the same question in groups, then submit another response Mazur, E. Peer Instruction: A User's Manual. Prentice Hall, 1997.

15 Peer Instruction 1.Students individually consider and respond to a multiple choice question 2.Students discuss the same question in groups, then submit another response 3.Instructor guides students in a class-wide discussion Mazur, E. Peer Instruction: A User's Manual. Prentice Hall, 1997.
