论文摘要
本文介绍了作者如何成功地适应有关在量子场理论的研究生级课程中使用的文献中提取的有关活跃学习的技术。学生在每个班级之前都完成了阅读和在线问题，并花了一段时间解决问题，这些问题需要他们练习理论物理学家的典型决策和技能。讲师监视了这些活动，并定期提供及时的反馈来指导他们的思维。讲师的互动和学生的热情与与高级研究生一对一讨论中遇到的相似。课程覆盖范围没有受到损害。这里描述的教学技术非常适合其他高级课程。
This article describes how the author successfully adapted techniques drawn from the literature on active learning for use in a graduate-level course on quantum field theory. Students completed readings and online questions ahead of each class and spent class time working through problems that required them to practice the decisions and skills typical of a theoretical physicist. The instructor monitored these activities and regularly provided timely feedback to guide their thinking. Instructor-student interactions and student enthusiasm were similar to that encountered in one-on-one discussions with advanced graduate students. Course coverage was not compromised. The teaching techniques described here are well suited to other advanced courses.
