Assignment
Integrating Active Learning Practices
In this assignment, you will design an active learning activity for one of your lectures.
- Select a computer science topic (e.g., sorting algorithms, graph traversal, object-oriented programming, ...).
- Choose one or more active learning practices (e.g., think-pair-share, case-based learning, problem/project-based learning, ...)
- Describe the activity in detail:
- Setup: Describe your classroom setup. Are you applying a Flipped Classroom approach? If so, then the active learning activity should span the whole lecture (assume a 75 mins lecture). Otherwise make sure to state how long your active learning activity would take.
- Suitability for the topic: Discuss how this particular active learning activity is suitable for the chosen topic.
- Procedure: Describe the step-by-step instructions for conducting the activity.
- Student Roles: Describe how students will interact and engage with the material they learned and with each other during the activity.
- Expected Outcomes: Describe what students should achieve by the end of the activity.
