Active Learning Classroom Testimonials

"Working with my group members does make learning more fun and easier. The professor sometimes has us work in groups to solve problems on the board. My group and I even made a presentation for high school students in TRiO." Jacquelyn Stewart, CSUDH Student, Dr. Kenneth Rodriguez - Chemistry For The Citizen

"Interaction in/out class is crucial to our learning. We have microphones at our desks that allow us to discuss material with the entire class. We can interact with classmates across the room with ease. In most classes, we limit ourselves to interacting with students in our vicinity, but that is not an issue in this class. I love the collaborations we have with other groups. Presenting theories to others has really helped me better comprehend specific concepts." - Jose de Santiago. CSUDH Student, Dr. Erin Merz - Health Psychology
