Successful Science and Engineering Teaching in Colleges and Universities 2nd Edition (hc)

<p>Based on the author's work in science and engineering educational research this book offers broad practical strategies for teaching science and engineering courses and describes how faculty can provide a learning environment that helps students comprehend the nature of science understand science concepts and solve problems in science courses.<br />This book's student-centered approach focuses on two main themes: writing to learn (especially Reflective Writing) and interactive activities (collaborative groups and labatorials). When faculty incorporate these methods into their courses students gain a better understanding of science as a connected structure of concepts rather than as a toolkit of assorted practices.</p>
