- Abstract
How are challenging concepts best taught in the classroom to ensure that key information is retained? This study discusses the challenges faced in teaching an intensive, undergraduate Archaeological Theory course that is regularly taught at Simon Fraser University. A survey of enrolled students was designed and administered three times to evaluate the effectiveness of different teaching methods and student learning practices. The results of the survey, in addition to teaching insights gleaned by the instructor in more than 30 years of teaching, provide an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of information transmission and retention in the classroom.
