[Phys-L] Re: Partners in Innovation: Teaching Assistants in College Courses

I would have thought that a responsive answer to my question would have
been, "Yes, as follows:
        The results suggest that active and cooperative learning methods
facilitate both learning and a variety of interpersonal and thinking
skills, and that while these methods may initially provoke student
resistance, the resistance can be overcome if the methods are implemented
with care."
                                Regards,
                                        Jack

"Trust me.  I have a lot of experience at this."
                General Custer's unremembered message to his men,
