How does the BYU approach address the development of skills as recommended by the Albrecht Saks mononograph?
We believe the skills outlined in this monograph are better accomplished in upper-division courses when class sizes are smaller and more specialized. This also makes sense when one considers the numerous other goals that should be accomplished in the introductory courses. There is simply not enough time to accomplish everything in the first course. We believe centering on recruitment, application-based work, and teachings of the basics are most important for the first courses. Please also see the following video for more information.
