Cathy Welder at Dartmouth just sent me a link with a brief review:

I thought the Flipped Chemistry crowd might want to know about this book. I'm halfway through a hard copy and LOVE it. Great info on many types of active learning.


The book, entitled, Reaching Students: What Research Says About Effective Instruction in Undergraduate Science and Engineering. is available for purchase as a hard copy, but also as a free PDF through the National Academy Press website: http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=18687

Thanks so much for the link - I'm looking forward to diving into this one also.
