One initiative, termed POGIL, or Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning, hasrecently gained traction in both high schools and colleges.6 In 2012, Douglas, et. al. reported onusing POGIL in an engineering course and, as with other active-learning-type classroom use,determined that the methods can be successful, but the instructor must be careful to addressstudent expectations, as students can feel that they are not being “taught.”Both authors have

The next step is to reduce a lecture into explanations, short questions, opinions anddiscussion topics. Each part has its own purpose in conveying material. A primary goal is to askquestions to at least 20 different students during a 50 minute class. Questions should flow veryfast and move from student to student.
