AAPT SM21

It has been said that the typical lecture is every bit as effective as placing two red bricks in front of the class for fifty minutes. I have spent my teaching career trying to improve upon that baseline. I will discuss different techniques used in my large introductory algebra-based courses to make the lecture experience more active and student centered. I have found that using the lecture as a support platform built around the Tutorials in Introductory Physics by Lillian McDermott, Peter Shafer, and the Physics Education Group at University of Washington yields measurable gains in student conceptual understanding and retention.
