"Credo ut intelligam (I believe so that I may understand)."This 2008-2009 academic year for Astr 210 (introductory astronomy) at Cuesta College is "The Year of Best Practices," where only instructional methods thoroughly researched and recommended by education research will be embraced and put into practice. Even though these may be techniques that are not obviously credulous nor easily implemented; nonetheless every effort will be made to put them into effect.
--St. Anselm of Canterbury
Since electronic response systems (clickers) will be extensively implemented according to the latest findings from education research, this year could also be subtitled, "The Year I Stopped Worrying And Learned To Love Clickers." Watch this blog for updates as the semester progresses.
