Why The TEAL/Studio Format?Problems with Large Lectures:
Lecture/recitations are passiveNo labs lack of physical intuition E&M is abstract, hard to visualize
TEAL/Studio Addresses Problems:Lectures Interactive, Collaborative LearningIncorporates desk top experimentsIncorporates visualization/simulations
Bottom Line: Learn More, Retain More, Do Better

Why The TEAL/Studio Format?
By standard assessment measures, TEAL shows a factor of two increase in learning gains as compared to lecture/recitation format(see Dori and Belcher, “How Does TEAL
Affect Student Learning of E&M Concepts?”, Journal of the Learning Sciences 14(2) 2004.)
Bottom Line: Learn More, Retain More, Do Better

• For many this is new & I will introduce concepts before use (yell at me if not!)
• Concepts are VERY important –mechanics are almost trivial
