Active learning has been shown to aid understanding andimprove retention of information in a variety of courses from chemistry1 to electricalengineering2 and hydraulics3.The redesign of courses to take advantage of what we know about learning and knowledgeretention has been suggested by Furse4. As the impetus for her revision of standard teachingmethods, she cites the work of David Sousa5 which summarizes the average adult retention ratefor different learning methods. Lowest retention is from the typical lecture (5% retention),whereas retention from activities like discussion (50%) and teaching others (90%) are muchhigher. This concept can be leveraged by reformatting the typical class period and dividing thetime into
