Confessions of a Converted Lecturer: Eric Mazur
Eric Mazur: “I thought I was a good teacher until I discovered my students were just memorizing information rather than learning to understand the material. Who was to blame? The students? The material? I will explain how I came to the agonizing conclusion that the culprit was neither of these. It was my teaching that caused students to fail! I will show how I have adjusted my approach to teaching and how it has improved my students’ performance significantly.” Eric Mazur is the Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University. An internationally recognized scientist and researcher, he leads a vigorous research program in optical physics and supervises one of the largest research groups in the Physics Department at Harvard University.

Great presentation!
- Encouraging students to immediately apply new knowledge in discussion and short quiz.
- Reduce amount of content in order to free up some time for digging deeper and improving understanding.
- Rigorous testing of teaching techniques.
So this guy figured out what every single student already knows?
Hm kuschelbedarf und keiner da jemd Lust zu chattn
perfect argument..I am a mathematician. All my students scare of math.. but it is a requirement. What happen i encourage them that math is an easy subjects..so I change my teaching behavior.. the way of teaching 25 student to have the same mentality to wards solving problem. therefore at the end…. all their response are perfectly identical. everyone happy, instead of teaching 25 students i am teaching one students.
guys i really feel lonely today anyone wanna chat
