Active Learning Strategies in Advanced Mathematics Classes.
Rosenthal, Jeffrey S.
Studies in Higher Education, v20 n2 p223-28 Jun 1995
Use of active learning techniques in upper-division probability courses at the University of Minnesota is discussed. Techniques include cooperative, small-group learning, and essay-writing about technical topics. Emphasis is on student participation, interaction, and broadening of student perspective. Student response to the approach is also examined. The methods are seen as effective and easy to implement. (MSE)
