CUP: Cooperative Learning That Works.
Mills, David; McKittrick, Brian; Mulhall, Pam; Feteris, Susan
Physics Education, v34 n1 p11-16 Jan 1999
Presents the Conceptual Understanding Program (CUP) as a means of helping first-year university physics students overcome their misconceptions in mechanics. Students work on exercises alone, then in threes, and finally as a class, which has resulted in high levels of participation and satisfaction among students. This strategy can be implemented without major changes to a teaching program. (Author/WRM)
