Available In-Class Activities

The activities listed below were developed for use at Rensselaer.  They are labeled with their Stage of development;  those in Stage 1 have not been modified in any way and may require some editing when used at other institutions.  Stage 4 means the assignment has  been modified and internally reviewed at Rensselaer, and it is awaiting external review.
