The immediate feedbackprovides students and the instructor with some indication of the level understanding of the class.Students who don’t quite understand may see that they are not alone, and realize where theirmisconceptions or gaps in knowledge lie.Short answer questions require students to generate their own response, rather than recall it froma list of options. The instructor designed questions requiring students to list a casual chain ofevents, or to simply provide a term.

techniques to teach writing, it may be difficult for students to incorporate lessons fromthe humanities into their engineering coursework 5. Scientists may also lack the language andunderstanding of composition studies to teach the writing process effectively. Offering apedagogical balance between science and rhetoric is thus a challenging problem.Engineering schools have used various approaches to confront this problem of balance. AtRensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the chemistry department employed writing consultants fromthe Department of Language, Literature, and Communication to work with junior-levelchemistry majors on their lab reports in two required “writing intensive” courses. Theseconsultants met with chemistry faculty to discuss writing

The book Peer Instruction by Eric Mazur (1997) helpsphysics teachers move students from juggling equations to actually thinking and learning theconcepts of physics by use of concept questions. However, Mazur’s methodology has not seenwidespread use in teaching statics. This paper reports the

The instructor actsas a scribe, writing down their summarized comments. I have used this assignment in mytechnical communication class with the third question. It usually results in one of the bestdiscussions we have all semester. The procedure gives students time to think about theirresponses and to use writing as a means of recalling stored information.
