Active Learning
The 70 Lecture Tutorials are designed to follow up a brief lecture or introduction of a topic. They are well suited for small-group work where students collaboratively teach and learn from one another.
Questions Progress in Difficulty
Activities begin with easy-to-follow art and questions to help students identify what they do and do not know, then focus on underdeveloped or misunderstood concepts, slowly stepping students through the process to more difficult questions.
Student 1 vs. Student 2 Debates
This feature takes a unique approach to address misconceptions, with one of the students expressing a common misconception and the other expressing the scientific perspective. Students are required to think about their own potential misconceptions by answering student debates.
Flexible Format
Lecture Tutorials fit right in with other interactive teaching methods and can be used in lecture or lab with any text.
