There are a group of faculty at Indiana University Kokomo who have been doing
an interactive learning process called "Team-Based Learning" which was
developed by Larry Michaelsen, Arletta Knight, and L. Dee Fink and is very
interactive, group processy (I know that isn't a word, but it works), and the
students love it. The paperback which has all of the information necessary
only costs about $23. It's the scoring sheets that costs more (sort of like
Scantron sheets).

our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and
the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.

do not practice, and another which we practice, but seldom preach. -Bertrand
