Thanks for this article. It's satisfying to see my worked affirmed in this way, and I hope that it will lead to good discussions that help us improve our teaching.
One thing I'd like to point out is that this sort of class works because the students work very hard at it. There's nothing a lecturer can do to save a class if the students don't buy in to the process. I think I get that buy-in because the students recognise the value of what they are asked to do, They're more than willing to work hard provided that they understand why they are expected to do so.
