    Active Learning Approaches to Teaching Soil Science at the College Level by Jose A. Amador

    Published in Frontiers in Environmental Science (2019-08-01)
    “…A brief description of the each pedagogical approach is followed by evidence of its impact on student learning in general and, when available, its use in soil science courses. I describe and discuss my experiences using these approaches teaching introductory soil science (face-to-face and online), soil chemistry and soil microbiology courses, and provide examples of some of the problems I use. …”
