” passive lecture methods. These pedagogies include challenge-basedlearning (e.g., problem-based learning (PBL), project-based learning, case-based learning,inquiry-based learning)1 and a multitude of active/collaborative techniques (e.g., think-pair-share,quick think, jigsaw, and gallery walk). All of these learning methods excel in student learning ofcontent as well as a variety of process skills such as critical thinking, higher-level reasoning,differentiating views of others, and teamwork.2, 3 They are also highly effective with individualstudent accountability.

She urges educators to“become better consumers of the mountains of research that have emerged since the1990s.” For example, she highlights the important role the physical environment plays inteaching and learning.We’ve all heard a struggling engineering student say “I don’t have the brains for this” orsomething similar. Perhaps you, like me, have said it to ourselves or others. Whateveryour or my
