!Nevertheless, this study shows that the essentials are nearly identical between the two institutions Page 13.313.15so neither of them has decided to substantially eliminate material from the shorter (3 hour)course.Simply going faster is clearly a bad idea; after all, the objective is learning, not teaching. An“expert” might be able to cover all of the essentials in a single lecture, especially if s/he hasauctioneer’s training, but this would not facilitate learning. There are, however, ways to gofaster while not significantly affecting student learning, as described below under“Recommendations”.Shifting the burden to the students should be considered

The Fellows surveyed were eitherfacilitators of their own Math Club(s) or assisted the two graduate Fellows in FAME orEnergy Club. This survey was designed to capture the perspective of each person filling Page 13.1235.10out the survey with respect to the student, the teacher, the school, the Fellow or thegraduate Fellow. For example, if a Fellow were filling out the survey, then they wouldthink about their students in the OST Club when answering the question, “Doesparticipation in the OST Club positively affect the students
