A smorgasbord of pedagogical dishes
Anders Berglund, Mats Daniels, Vicki L. Almstrum · 1996
A smorgasbord is a style of food presentation that offers a wide variety of dishes from which the dinner guest can select according to personal preference.In this paper; we use the analogy of the smorgasbord to present a variety of pedagogical dishes that have been used for courses given by one department.In the same way the dishes on the smorgasbord can be grouped into various categories, our pedagogical dishes have been grouped into categories: Active learning, Projects, Form of examination, and Forging connections.For each dish, we discuss how it has been used, the participants, and the goals, as well as our assessment of the outcome.We hope that the reader will be inspired by the description of our pedagogical smorgasbord to extend and refine their local offerings.
