Students are often underprepared for the rigor of their college science courses, discovering that their study skills are insufficient and expecting that the instructor will bridge that gap. Student success has been demonstrated to be improved by incorporating active learning into the course, but how can we help students to effectively prepare for active learning and higher-level Bloom’s thinking? This session will focus on using the tools provided by Mastering, Learning Catalytics, and Ready-to-Go Teaching Modules to structure your course so that students are ready to actively engage in critical thinking and class activities.
