"Thinking Out of the Box Lunch"
During the last seven Annual Meetings of the ASE, the Curriculum Committee sponsored a forum entitled "Thinking Out of the Box Lunch" for the brief presentation of creative ideas which are educationally sound, but which may not have undergone rigorous analytic proof of efficacy.
The idea was to have ASE members share creative ideas that have worked for them at their institutions. Presenters produced a fact sheet for their teaching method so that attendees had further references or contacts should they wish to adopt the idea. We are making the abstracts from these presentations available for our members who were not able to attend.
