Jacquie Robson reviews this book of case studies designed to capture the imagination

This book presents a broad spectrum of US-based case studies of innovative teaching methods for the university practitioner. The activities presented are student-centred, using a 'connected' approach to develop deeper undergraduate understanding.

Some of the theoretical rational provided for the methods used can be quite heavy-going for those not familiar with educational research ideas, but the case studies are, in general, easy to read and interesting.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor. 

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
