Student Learning
Active student learning is an educational
approach that creates a learning environment focused on
interactivity. To learn something well, it helps to hear it, see it,
ask questions about it, and discuss it with others. Active learning
is fast-paced, engaging, complex, supportive and fun. Students take
greater responsibility for their own learning process, and faculty
encourage students to put forth their best efforts.
SNES supports active student learning in a
number of ways.
-
Class sizes are small so that everyone
gets a chance to participate.
-
Course clusters investigate the same
theme in a multidisciplinary way to engage students deeply in a
topic.
-
Freshman living-learning centers allow small groups of
students to live near each other, share common courses and interact
with some of their professors, who also live in campus housing.
