Active Classrooms Passive Students

The document discusses the challenges of engaging students in an active classroom setting, noting that many remain passive and fail to prepare adequately for coursework. It introduces the Faculty-Student Performance Agreement (FSPA) as a method to encourage student responsibility and engagement by outlining mutual responsibilities between faculty and students. The effectiveness of the FSPA is evaluated through class participation and feedback, with ongoing efforts to refine the approach based on student input and performance outcomes.
