especially important since they havethis huge distraction of a computer in front of them.One way to engage the student is using in-class assignments and exercises. We refer to these as“in-class labs” to convey the laboratory nature of these exercises. Essentially, the course revolvesaround the labs and there is very little formal lecture time. There is the occasional introductionto a modeling topic that will take 5-10 or so minutes of time, but even those are punctuated withexamples that the students should or could implement and run. Lecture is more spontaneoussince they arise from “teaching moments” which are instances during class when students realizethey have a problem and now some commentary from the instructor is needed. At those times
