How Learning Works

How Learning Works: Seven Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching
(http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470484101.html)

Great book - highly recommended! But I give the following summary of the principles from the book to my students to read.

Is this the end for Facebook...

This is a cool paper for modeling that I think students could recreate and have a great discussion about.  You don't really need a lot of background per se to understand the application area because students can use a lot of their own knowledge about social media.  There are also a lot of options to make extensions.

Article Reading Assignments

Reading questions for students to consider/answer as they read through math modeling papers. This document is constructed with the idea that a student will read the paper (or portions of the paper) in several passes. The grouping of the questions in Step 1, Step 2, etc., break the questions down into what students might consider in a first pass, a second pass, etc. with an eye towards the student developing a rubric for what makes a well written math modeling paper.

Harvard Implicit Bias Test

The most well-known test for detecting implicit bias (which we all have!). Taking this test can be an eye-opening experience for faculty and students.

Research Log Template

Template for research log that I use with my research students. Template contains definition of new commands in TeX for goals, log entries, meeting notes, and reflections. I have students maintain this file in a shared folder while they are doing research. My research students are expected to make goals for each week, a log entry for each day they work on their research project, and a reflection entry at the end of each week.
