Eric Mazur talk today!

[Orban, Christopher]

Hi all,
         I too generally avoid spamming the physics-all list. But I will make an exception to share the link to Eric Mazur's powerpoint slides from the last two days of seminars:

http://mazur.harvard.edu/search-talks.php?function=recent

I went to one of the talks and I thought it was interesting food for thought.
           regards,
           Chris Orban

Dear all,

I generally avoid spamming the physics-all list, but I am making an
exception today.  I believe that the strategy of "flipping" classrooms is
one that the Department should consider seriously for instruction at all
levels.  The talk by Prof. Mazur could be a useful introduction to the
concept for such a discussion, so I suggest you consider attending.
I can't find an abstract for the talk, but by reputation Prof. Mazur
is one of the first people you would consult on this topic.

   best,
    Dick
