A comment on Why Books Don't Work: Constructivism over Transmissionism.
1. Read the assigned material before class. 2. Attend the lecture and any recitations; listen and take notes. 3. Do the homework.
Note that the material is read, heard, written, and used. It worked so well (for me) that I basically didn't have to study for finals.
A lecture or a book by itself is useless, but when used in combination with other forms of learning, can be powerful.
I agree with the comment that constructivism and transmission is a false dichotomy. We use both all the time, together.
