N2 - Economics students are used to lectures of the “chalk-and-talk” variety. In thisproject, I develop, describe, and evaluate a pedagogical intervention that providesstudents with the opportunity to practice their argumentation skills. Thedevelopment of these skills is not usually part of the core curriculum. For thisproject, a panel discussion format is used to enable students to developarguments using empirical evidence, and generally navigate a space where thereis no single right or wrong answer. The peer-learning environment allows studentsto develop argumentation and evaluation skills in a setting where they receiveinformal formative assessment.
