This class will use small active group learning techniques for few minutes (say, 5 minutes) in several class meetings to enhance the learning environment of the class meetings. The performance of a student during these exercises will have no bearing on his/her grades. Students will work in a small group of two or three on an exercise or a discussion question provided in the class meeting. After this, a randomly chosen student will be invited to summarize the discussion in his/her group. Other students in the class may paraphrase and improve the presented material.
