Evolving from a lecturer, a "sage on the stage," to an active learning guide, is hard. Especially if you've lectured for more than 25 years. Especially if you like to talk. Especially if you give "engaging and exciting" lectures. I have recently used perseverance, resilience, and more than a small dose of stubbornness to push myself to "talk less, teach more." I've made progress but I'm still working on it. In the first part of this talk, I will explain why I realized this change is necessary. I will describe many reasons why this was hard for me and may be hard for you. I will use general principles to explain how I am making this transition. During the second part of this talk, I will share specific tactics from my own classes that help "activate" problem solving courses, skills-oriented courses, design courses, and analysis courses. For example, instead of doing what I traditionally would have done (such as solving problems for them, showing them case study examples, talking for an hour), I employ tactics to engage students (such as students trying to solve problems before I share solutions, students finding their own examples). One or more of these tactics could help with almost any type of course. The session will conclude with a brainstorming session where we will discuss how active exercises could be incorporated into your classes with minimal effort. Participants will develop the ability to create interesting active exercises for their own courses.
