Peer reviewedCohen, David W. – American Mathematical Monthly, 1982
The "Moore Method" of teaching students through having them do proofs is described, and problems in its use are noted. A presentation of a Modified Moore Method is promoted that has worked well with undergraduates. It is felt that the principles applied can be translated to other subject areas. (MP)
