Evidence-based teaching cycle, from [Bell, 2020]

Features

  • Every learner needs to be active
  • Follows the pace of learners that need more time
  • Fast learners learn by helping
  • Asks learners randomly, as he should [Bell, 2020]
    • Some really like it [3]
    • Some really don't [4]
  • Dare to try out new things (and fail in plain sight) [Bell, 2020]

Lecturing

I only do this for unimportant topics, as lecturing hinders learning [2].

Hence, this was the only lecture in the course :-)

(I do need to tell about myself [Schwartz, 2012])
