Active and engaged learning that has real-world implications is an ideal learning environment for students. In our senior capstone Research Scholarship (RS) course, students worked with a community partner to engage in original research for three different projects to answer questions that were critical for the community partner's future success. We will share pedagogical innovations, challenges, and successes from our experience of teaching in an active learning classroom for the first time, designing the course specifically for engaged learning, and working with multiple stakeholders.Published
