Re: [Phys-l] Confessions of a Converted Lecturer #5

[Richard Hake <rrhake@earthlink.net>]

Some subscribers to Phys-L  might be interested in a post titled "Re: 
Confessions of a Converted Lecturer #5" [Hake (2010b)], an expansion, 
improvement, and correction to previous posts "Re: Confessions of a 
Converted Lecturer #2, #3, #4." The abstract reads:

************************************************
ABSTRACT: In response to "Re: Confessions of a Converted Lecturer" 
[Hake (2010a)]; UK physicist Lewis Elton (2010) wrote that:

(a) he had abandoned the passive-student lecture  in 1969, long 
before Eric Mazur,

(b) his contributions to the debate over lectures had been neglected, and

(c) he would  appreciate anything I might be able to do  to remedy "b".

In this post I attempt to remedy the perceived neglect of Elton's 
contributions by quoting
extensively from his article "Could undergraduate physics teaching be 
better?" [Elton (2004)].
