Homework - Practice is most important.
Problem solving in class with a group if 3-4 people. Consider asking question in an unorthodox way..
Teach about matrices and Eigenvaue

give a matrix and ask about eigen value.

instead give eigenvalues and ask for matrix..

Give a question with multiple answers which always tends to be harder.

Students think a lot about the multiple answers –

You could guide by saying give me three matrcies. What is similar ? What is different?

David Darmofal

David Darmofal Do not focus on content.. understand measurable outcomes and try to assess it.

Active learning.. – Engage with the material.. I think of using my lecture time in a very active way..

USually I have 3 concept questions that I use..

Reflective pause. (midway through your lecture give a minute for reflection)

Use your resources like text books effective. Look ahead homework.

Haynes Miller - http://math.mit.edu/mathlets – Applets that use diff equations in engineering applications that can be carried forward.

Barry Kudroits. – Information that had a hands on activity was absorbed easily.

Huge Community of practice(mentors students and instrucors)

Treat the classroom as a stage.

Nametag, Box of materials, gift Wrap.

Everything is ready before students come in.

Coherent design..

Questions:

Videotaping good or bad? – Past year lectures does not reduce attendees.

Well done videos is very good.

Can learn a lot from 6.001.
