I'll look into it.<br />I've been trying to come up with a database of problems to use in my courses because as of now I've been making up new ones each semester, which is getting tedious. Basing my instruction off of challenging problems has been working very well and as my colleagues try it they are seeing equal success.brandtahedronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09857457571325589517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498991377375536625.post-6554815387097795732013-02-04T17:14:49.053-08:002013-02-04T17:14:49.053-08:00There's a great book you should read, recommen...There's a great book you should read, recommended to me by Christopher Danielson (I think) called "Teaching Problems and the Problems of Teaching." I'm a couple of hundred pages into it already, and I think you'll get some answers to these questions of curriculum (and whether a student-centred problem-based curriculum works - it does).<br /><br />I'd love to organize a course around problems for students to do, and spend much of the class time discussing the solutions & experiments students do around those problems.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08098221991466148258noreply@blogger.com
