students can relate to. The goals were to 1) generate a scenario wherestudents can better learn course material by requiring them to teach their peers, and 2) create arepository of videos that can be used in subsequent iterations of the course.Surveys were given out to the student participants at the conclusion of the project, and consistedof five questions evaluated using a five level Likert rating scale, as well as three free responseprompts. The major conclusions derived from the data are: 1) this assignment was enjoyable toexecute, and useful for participating student to learn major concepts in the course, 2) the videosgenerated were useful in teaching their classmates, and 3) this assignment can be extended toother courses. Overall, the paper
