    I've been deeply interested in much of the recent discussions with
    regard to teaching strategies. I'm teaching Construction Management &
    Economics to architecture students - a few of whom are interested in the
    topic of the course (a 70-student course).
    This is probably due to the fact that they are mainly design-oriented
    students
    and find the topic unnecessary as a subject of study in architecture
    faculties
    (This is not the case for graduate level) In my small classes (15 or
    fewer students), I use movies, group-work and problem-based tutorials. I
    stimulate them into discussion. In this case they do more talking than I
    do. My goal in my large-sized class is to provide my students with a
    basic working knowledge of the topic of class. I would welcome any
    insights or experiences on how to make it easier for architecture
    students the importance of management in construction.

    Best wishes for a happy 2003
