Abstract:
Projects can be a good way for students to apply what they've learned in class. I have my students pick a topic of interest to them; they gather and collect the data; present it via a research report which is due at the end of the semester. It definitely helps their grades and provides some meaning and perspective to the semester's work. The students picked some very interesting subjects as well. All of this was explored in the workshop.
