“Students learn twice as much [compared to conventional lecture courses].We estimate this via pre and post-testing of concepts before and after the semester [in the two class formats].” Daniel Dale, Professor of Physics & Astronomy
The building has improved learning outcomes for the students who use it. Faculty using the studio laboratory, for example, report that student attendance is 90% compared to 70% for attendance in lecture halls. They also report that retention rates for students in the studio format are significantly higher than for students in conventional lecture-format classes.
