Less lecturing, more learning
Abstract
In this paper we describe the results of a three-year study of the introduction of small group teaching and learning techniques into a large, first-year course. Such techniques have had many advocates in the literature, but there are few reports of implementation and evaluation. Many teachers are reluctant to embrace these techniques because they do not know where and how to start. A report of implementation, like this one, can provide a model—first draft—for other teachers to revise. It may also encourage some to take the plunge. The most common reason given for the reluctance to introduce small group teaching is the lack of resources. We show how these techniques can be introduced in large classes with no increase in resources.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
