The guide provides the tools for an active classroom. It includes chapter overviews, and for each section:
Two-page problem and summary sheets for every section of the text. These sheets include a list of key points and are populated with problems from the text. They are also available as pre-built WileyPLUS assignments. They can be used as stand-alone problems in class, or in conjunction with the Classroom Activities from the guide.
We are providing instructors with two sets of active-learning handouts. The problems and activities in both sets are designed to ensure that if a student works through the problems for a given section, then they will have mastered the learning objectives of that section. Both sets of handouts provide students with the opportunity to productively struggle with the concepts in class.
The difference is:
Part III: Active-Learning Handouts: Designed to allow students to access the content without the need of a preliminary lecture. Activities labeled as “possible motivating activity” are often the introductory examples from the text, converted to active-learning exploratory activities. Each activity is accompanied by comments for the instructor indicating how the activity moves the content forward. Wrap-up activities are provided for students to reflect on—and pull together—the concepts they learned completing the activities and provide a quick way for the instructor to asses student learning at the end the section.
Part IV: Classroom Problem Sheets: These are designed to support active learning in a context where content is first provided in a short lecture and may be easier to use with large classes.
The sheets have a summary of key ideas of the section, and students can progress through the worksheet working individually, or in groups, with less full-class discussion.
The problems are selected from the text carefully, so they do not overlap with suggested homework problems, but parallel them. The problems are also in WileyPLUS.
