Mathew Curtis, University of Southern California
The ADEPT method is an effective way to connect students with course material. The use of the ADEPT method provides a guide for instructors to break down complex large course constructs into smaller components. This happens via an A, analogy, D, Diagram, E, example, P, plain English, and T, technical, for the ADEPT method. After a brief discussion of the ADEPT method multiple examples of the use of the ADEPT method will be presented across a range of disciplines.
