Active Learning Initiative

Four years ago, the College of Arts & Sciences launched the Active Learning Initiative in three departments, in response to calls from government organizations and professional societies to improve college-level teaching in science and mathematics. In active learning classrooms, students enjoy more hands-on activities and more frequent student-student and student-instructor interactions through methods such as small discussion groups, partner sharing and the use of technology to enhance learning.
