What I'm Reading This Week #2

Here are some of the articles that have caught my attention this week:

• Colleen Flaherty, The Dangers of Fluent Lectures. Inside Higher Ed. September 15, 2019.
• The study refers to the article "Measuring actual learning vs feeling of learning in response to being actively engaged in the classroom."

• Carl J. Strikwerda, Faculty members are the key to solving the retention challenge. Inside High Ed. September 4, 2019. 

• John Warner, Let's Stop Killing Students' Spirits. Inside Higher Ed. September 15, 2019. (This article is about writing but it could easily be about math.)

A colleague also shared the following video with me:

• Inquiry-based learning builds mathematical confidence

And one more that's been sitting in my Inbox for a while:

• Beth McMurtrie, Knowing how to study can mean the difference between success and failure for first-generation students. Here's how instructors can help. The Chronicle of Higher Education. July 11, 2019.
