Student Ratings of 10 Strategies for Using Humor in College Teaching.
Berk, Ronald A.
Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v7 n3 p71-92 1996
A three-year study evaluated the effectiveness of 10 systematic strategies for using humor as a teaching tool. Student ratings at the end of three undergraduate and five graduate statistics courses assessed the extent to which each strategy reduced anxiety, improved the ability to learn, and made it possible to perform one's best on problems and exams.
