Reviews for Improving How Universities Teach Science: Lessons from the Science Education Initiative
Carl Wieman has been leading a heroic crusade to increase rationality in our society by transforming how professors teach science in universities. In this highly informative, completely honest new book, he reveals the many lessons learned not only from his successes, but also from his failures.
