How to Get into Harvard ft. Ryan Higa
Eric Mazur on new interactive teaching techniques | Harvard Magazine Mar-Apr 2012
Quote: “In the standard approach, the emphasis in class is on the first, and the second is left to the student on his or her own, outside of the classroom,” he says. “If you think about this rationally, you have to flip that, and put the first one outside the classroom, and the second inside. So I began to ask my students to read my lecture notes before class, and then tell me what questions they have [ordinarily, using the course’s website], and when we meet, we discuss those questions.”
