“This meta-analysis makes a powerful case that any college or university that is teaching its STEM courses by traditional lectures is providing an inferior education to its students”

“At first, it was very difficult to adjust to Dr. Bates’ teaching style after having a <<>> prof that taught through taking notes together. !

After a few weeks, however, I came to understood that this approach was extremely effective. In contrast to my other conventional stern and dull lectures, physics class was a very lively, interactive and inspiring environment; a class that I looked most forward to. !

Dr. Bates lead an interactive environment in which students were stimulated to think amongst themselves and learn from each other.”
