Does Increasing Course Depth While Reducing Breadth Improve Learning in College Students?

Cohort
2024
Fellow(s)

Student-centered learning strategies have been effectively used to increase academic performance and learning in students. Educators have hypothesized that course content reduction can also improve student learning. However, support for this idea is lacking. In the present project, I am planning to assess whether a content reduction strategy increases the academic performance of upper-division stem students at the University of Texas-Austin.
