What Faculty say…

“… I have been pleased with the effectiveness of my LAs as discussion leaders; it appears that students are more likely to contribute ideas and debate issues in the presence of an LA (as opposed to a professor). I also note that my class has been more engaged in their online discussion groups than in past semesters, likely due to the fact that one of my LAs has taken on responsibility to manage the discussions.”, Dr. A, FIU 

 

“… Most faculty, this is what they want to see. They want to see students in a group setting, like our own group meetings, arguing about physics figuring it out”, Dr. Pollock, University of Colorado, Boulder.
