This article is presented as a dialogue between the two authors and thus offers a fresh light approach to discussing their research which I really enjoyed. The research itself is fairly basic - as I read it, they increased engagement in practical activities by making the practical activities part of the overall assessment for the course grade. "Only 54 per cent of our students said they would have completed the activities if they were not assessed." The suggestion is also that this resulted in better learning.
