How does assessment take place?

What is used to motivate the students?

Students are directly engaged with the material, instead of having material presented to them, which fosters depth of understanding. Students gain practice in selfteaching, which is one of the most valuable skills we can help them learn. Students gain practice in peer teaching, which requires them to understand the material at a deeper level than students typically do when simply asked to produce on an exam.

This method can be assessed by class discussion, while students are still within their jigsaw groups. This way all individual, group, and class thoughts are presented.

What is important to understand about this? That student can think collaboratively
