This is a short article describing the results of what was essentially a trial-and-error process to implement active learning in an economics class. This experience is probably similar to the experience of others (assuming they don't give up upon reaching their first 'error'). But it's worth pressing on. " Students in these lectures are not only engaged in learning but are also involved in cognitive processes such as comprehension and evaluation. These processes then translate into (a) improved and deeper learning, (b) better grades, and (c) lower failure rates." Via Helge Scherlund.
