No difference inmean final exam scores:
Here’s a difference:
Implementation Challenges
• Insufficient preparedness/training of GTAs assigned to lab sessions
• Participation-tracking technology (clickers, card swipe) problems
• Late enrollment of students• Lack of student engagement and interaction
Addressing Challenges
• Attention to GTA training and expectations. (Note: During the pilot, the GTAs involved in the redesign also had traditional sections.)
• Card swipe issues are now understood. Clickers?
• Allowing less late enrollment? Intro to course format and philosophy on video
