My theory is that lecturing for an hour plus, and then sending students out to do homework by themselves is not the most robust way to engage and learn the material. If you walk by one of my classes, you'll generally see a class busy in small groups, talking through activities together. This gives students a chance to engage in the material, get hands-on, and discuss things they tried and learned together.</bio></item>
