A list of the kinds of pedagogical techniques they covered this term. It’s a long list and I’ll try to add some annotations:

Peer Led Team Learning

POGIL – designed for Chemistry, now Biology and biochem – can it be adapted to other disciplines?

Scaffolding
Student Discussion
Concept Mapping
Case Studies
One-minute Papers – I usually do this just at the end of class, but wonder if more regular check ins would be helpful, like what’s shown here:

Lecture
Strip Sequence – give students a list of answers and have them put them in the correct order. Large classes: use multiple choice questions to do this, with new clickers can vote on which one to put first, second, etc.
try for peer review process, life cycle of information, hierarchy of evidence
Pre/Post Questions

Handraising
Ask Open-Ended Questions
Learn Before Lecture Activities
Portfolios/Journals/Blogs
