Peer instruction is a simple and effective technique you can use to make lectures more interactive, more engaging, and more effective learning experiences. Although well known in science and mathematics, the technique appears to be little known in the humanities. In this paper, we explain how Peer Instruction can be applied in philosophy lectures.

We have consistently found it to be a highly effective method of improving the lecture experience for both students and the lecturer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
