Why will Collaborative and Active Learning rather
than lecture be the primary means of instruction
in Chem 160?

• You dont really understand something until you
  can explain it to your grandmother (Albert
  Einstein)
• Much as we would like think that we as teachers
  can tell students what we have learned the
  evidence shows that we cannot transfer our
  knowledge ready-made into students minds.
  Students have to do the actual work of learning
  by actively making connections and organizing
  learning into meaningful concepts. When students
  are interacting with other students to clarify,
  explain, and understand, they are actively
  building their own minds. (from Collaborative
  Learning 101 by Patricia Cross)
• This class is structured such that you as
  students can teach and learn from others.
