== Some tips for teaching modeling courses ==

 # Match student groups based on free time.
 # Give up content in upper-level courses.
 # Create a course for your research students.
 # To manage lots of projects at once - instead of having multiple topics in your modeling course, try having one topic, but each group working on different aspects, have projects worked on by groups (purposefully teach collaboration!!).
 # Low-entry modeling courses allow us to work with students longer.
 # Infuse growth mindsets into your teaching ([https://sinews.siam.org/Details-Page/research-it-doesnt-take-a-genius link] from Chad Topaz).
