Two class presentations are required of all students. Each presentation will be on one of the chapters presented in the text, or on another similar success tool if cleared by the instructor. The most bizarre presentations are often the best. These experiences will give students the opportunity to practice formal presentation to a group, to engage the creative process with a team, and to have some fun. Presentations should last between 15 - 20 minutes.
Many students find it helpful to get together in study groups to work problems and test each other.
Explaining a concept to a peer will often help you to learn the material better than rereading it a dozen times. You are encouraged to form a study group with 1 - 3 other people in class. This has been found to be a very effective learning tool for many students. I will not assign groups nor require them because some people do work better alone. For this to be effective you need the right group.
