Lifting the bulk: improving a large-enrollment introductory course via student-centered learning and assessment
Seminar Overview:
In this seminar, the presenters have reported their latest efforts on this front, which involves two major interventions: the introduction of student-centered collaborative problem-solving tutorials, and the inclusion of formative component in mid-term exams through a computerized system that allows for self-scheduled reviews and retakes. The rationale, design, implementation, and results of these two interventions will be discussed, as will the implications and future directions.
