P-dog's blog: boring but important

Astronomy and physics education research and comments, field-tested think-pair-share (peer instruction) clicker questions, flashcard questions, in-class activities (lecture-tutorials), current events questions, backwards faded scaffolding laboratories, Hake gains, field-tested multiple-choice and essay exam questions, indices of discrimination, presentation slides, photos, ephemerae, astronomy in the marketplace, unrelated random sketches and minutiae.

Astronomy 210, Spring Semester 2011
Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA

(Overheard at the start of a class without the usual in-class activity ("lecture-tutorial") and requisite assigned seating chart.

Student: "Why is there no seating chart for today?"

Instructor: "Because today you get to find out who your real friends are."

(Beat.)

Instructor: "Or at least find out who loves to sit in your row just as much as you do."
