Big Top EASL Big Success: #WarEASL

War EASL
The last two evenings saw floodlights and lots of students on Cater Lawn, working in the Big Top EASL.  It looked like well over 200 students participated, but I am happy to stand corrected.

Physics, Chemistry, and Biology organized active learning study sessions for students in introductory courses.  Drs. Ameya Kolarkar (Physics), Lynn Mandeltort (Chemistry & Biochemistry), and Scott Bowling (Biological Sciences) gave students in their classes problems, and the students took station at one of the numerous white boards on easels to work through the problems in small groups.




Some TAs roamed among the groups with name tags that said Ask Me, and curious visitors also came by, including the Provost, faculty, and anyone else who wondered what the buzz was about.

Donations of popcorn and coffee, and great weather helped make the event a success, so now we want to see how we can turn this kind of event into a regular study session -- taking EASL on the campus road.
