SUMMARY:The Scientific Approach to Teaching: Research as a Basis for Course
	 Design   
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Eric Mazur\, Harvard University\nHosted by: David Cam
	pbell\, Bennett Goldberg\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/posters/2013_Spring
	/01_Mazur.pdf\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nAbstra
	ct: Discussions of teaching -- even some publications -- abound with anecdo
	tal evidence. Our intuition often supplants a systematic\, scientific appro
	ach to finding out what works and what doesn't work. Yet\, research is incr
	easingly demonstrating that our gut feelings about teaching are often wrong
	. In this talk I will discuss some research my group has done on gender iss
	ues in science courses and on the effectiveness of classroom demonstrations
	.\n\n[Video available on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wse0ehjmc
