encouraged toperform estimations and must begin to evaluate what they need to know in the context of theapplication. In response to the driving question, students are prompted to start askingconceptually-based questions that motivate subsequent active learning modules. Thus the goal ofthe EFFECTs framework is to create an integrative, rather than additive, module based approach.The most non-traditional component of this teaching (student centered learning) model is areflective writing assignment that usually occurs after each module in the form of a journal entryand which is featured as a significant component of the final report. These reflections, incombination with the decision worksheet, are a critical part of the process. With the
