Megan Steinweg: Using InTeGrate materials in Nutrient Transformations at Roanoke College part of Integrate:Teaching for Sustainability:How the Community is Using InTeGrate Materials:Instructor Stories
I was teaching my upper level nutrient transformation course for the second time when I started to add in Integrate modules. The first time I taught the course it was lecture heavy with some activities interspersed. The Integrate modules had several in and out of class activities that related to topics that I already wanted to cover in my course. My students very much enjoyed the in-class activities and I thought the homework assignments reinforced the topics well. It was great hearing the buzz of students talking in class about the topic during activities. Students recognized the reinforcement of certain concepts throughout the course and mentioned that they hadn't experienced that often in other courses but appreciated the opportunity to apply their knowledge in new systems.
