The Workshop
One two hour meeting of 5-10 students once a week to discuss the course concepts and work through a “module” of questions and problems, supplied by the professor, designed to illustrate the concepts being covered in lecture and prepare the students for exam problems.
To provide an intimate environment for the students to study together with structure and relevance imposed by the professor through the module. All members of the group work to correct misperceptions or holes in the understanding of any member of the group. It is a study group where peer pressure often provides a needed boost in student activity and interest.
