Re: Confessions of a Converted Lecturer #5

Some blog followers might be interested in a post of the above title [Hake (2010)].


The abstract reads:


************************************************

ABSTRACT: In response to "Re: Confessions of a Converted Lecturer" [Hake (2010)]; UK physicist Lewis Elton (2010) wrote that:


(a) he had abandoned the passive-student lecture in 1969, long before Eric Mazur,


(b) his contributions to the debate over lectures had been neglected, and


(c) he would appreciate anything I might be able to do to remedy "b".


In this post I attempt to remedy the perceived neglect of Elton's contributions by quoting extensively from his article "Could undergraduate physics teaching be better?" [Elton (2004)].
