Skip to content Home » High-impact practices encourage active learning and collaboration High-impact practices encourage active learning and collaboration Lizette Miramontes sometimes zones out after 10 minutes of sitting in a lecture. It’s hard to retain the information, then memorize it, take a test and remember it again down the road, she said. But the way students are learning is changing thanks to high-impact practices — programs and activities to increase student engagement, to foster mentorship and encourage cooperation and teamwork, which have been found to lead to increased graduation rates, GPA and retention.

The amount of noodles suggested for this soup is generous because we like it that way, but for a more classic balance, you might find 4 ounces to be just fine. If you prefer to cook your noodles directly in the soup, make it with 4 additional cups of broth. Meatballs1 large egg3 tablespoons (45 ml) water or milk2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley1 garlic clove, minced1/4…

Gifts like a silicone spatula, a stoneware mug, and a clip-on colander all provide updates to their daily-use items. And some of these presents might just elevate their cooking and baking skills, too. (I’m thinking gourmet paninis on a seasoned cast-iron griddle.) So if your next holiday work party,…

As classic as American baked goods come, brownies have been satisfying chocolate cravings since the early 20th century—and like anything that’s over 120 years old, they’ve evolved over time. Today, an ideal brownie is widely considered to have a rich, chocolatey flavor; a crackly, paper-thin crust on top; and a texture that’s chewy on the edges but fudgy in the centre. Because if anyone wants a cake-y brownie, don’t they just really want cake? We’re rounded up 10 of our favorite brownies recipes to turn to when those cravings hit. Source link
