How Do Prepared Students Change the Way I Teach?

We can get our students to come to class prepared, but it\u27s going to take a different course design. In terms of that, consider the traditional model of teaching and the interactive model of teaching. The traditional model of teaching is the one that we grew up with, if you will, just kind of lecture based. That we\u27ve got class time, student alone time, and teacher alone time. The aspects of learning are first exposure, higher-order reasoning, and then teacher response. Dr. J.
