Interesting failure to replicate the 2014 study suggesting that longhand notetaking may be more effective than typing on a laptop. Perhaps we should expect our efficacy at using different writing tools to shift over time!

I'm intrigued by the structural approach of "pattern teaching" as a method for designing individual class sessions. Certainly seems like a useful approach for those classes where you have trouble fitting everything in (or even deciding what everything is). At the same time I'm really uncomfortable with the article's tone, which verges on "teaching is that thing which gets in the way of research."

Gentle thoughts from James Lang as we head into the home stretch of the semester. "When you are faced with challenging questions about a relationship or a social problem in the world, just assume that the answer is always compassion. The same principle would serve us well in the college classroom."

If true peer review of student writing seems to take too much time, and you've noticed that students are reluctant to assign each other bad grades, maybe peer ranking provides a useful middle ground.

It seems like this article raises as many questions as it answers. The first, of course, is whether the CIP is doing enough to provide the elements which do support deep change. But I think we also have to ask, if incentives don't produce deep change, what do they support and is that enough?
