Making Connections with lecture and lab

  • Design an interactive experience that allows students to learn through doing and visualizing.
  • Students appreciate applied learning and low-stress assignments, resulting in increased classroom participation and engagement.
  • Authentic assignments reinforce the application of concepts learned in lecture to a simulated lab experience.
