Abstract :
This paper gives anecdotal experience about the application of cooperative and active learning concepts in a graduate class in power systems analysis. The use of these techniques resulted in a significant improvement in student evaluations of the course (and the instructor) in comparison with two prior offerings, yet reduced instructional workload. Its possible that the students even learned more about the subject
