Have students work in groups to identify certain impacts of different health concepts or health related issues. Have their group present their findings and share with class. Help initiate classroom dialogue. (Jeff Jordan)
Group work. Encourage join of clubs and teams to all students. Group presentations guided by instructors. (John Soldate)
I encourage students to work together on common projects.
Think, pair, share. Compare answers and agree on one.
They work with one another on problems in class. I encourage them to form study groups, etc.
I like to have students move around and interact with each other. This is not only for them to have a chance to check their work, but to use mathematics language, defend answers, ask clarifying questions and to meet each other and hopefully form a little mathematics community where they are comfortable working with each other, inside and outside of the classroom. (Rita Nutsch)
I give them a quiz at the end of every class which is open book and they are encouraged to help each other. I am always amazed at how well the students work together, and how they support each other. Even though they can ask me for help as well, they prefer to get help from their classmates, and everyone's learning improves. (Despina Gurlides)
I have students form groups of 2 to 4 to work on problems and help each other if one doesn't know how to get a solution. I ask them to compare solutions and agree one one answer.
I very very rarely ask students to be quiet. Nearly all students have one or more students they routinely work with on problems. Students with different backgrounds and likely strongly opposing political views work well together. Math is amazing for this. (Rick Danner)
I group students by major & have them work on in-class assignments. I encourage them to reach out to each other to form study groups for exams.
I give them a group activity when it is appropriate. I change the groups all the time.(Sanjay Dev)
