Active and experiential learning is a cornerstone of contemporary education. Critical thinking is based on experience analyzing and drawing sound conclusions from primary materials. Games help students learn concepts and relationships through play and group discussion. I have designed three board games for my classes and have presented on this pedagogic technique to my colleagues. Lightning Presentations on self-selected course "case studies" help students learn public speaking skills and help fellow students build analytical connections. Group work like debates and group presentations teach students the importance of delegating tasks, maintaining a project platform, and grounding arguments in evidence.
