CPR-casting  Video Recordings

Students who participate in the CPR-L process demonstrate their grasp of course subject matter when they solve a problem using the rubrics of the 3-step process.  Their thinking and methodology are confirmed when they submit a visual and audio recording of their work.

Students talk themselves through the problem-solving process as a recording; of what they're saying is being made. This act serves as "self-teaching" process as they hear themselves articulate core course concepts,  the "givens" or "knowns" in the problem,  what solution or answer is being sought, and the reasoning they use to find a solution. A review of the recording demonstrates how well the student understands underlying concepts as well as their ability to apply them.   When done properly, students' recordings of the  problem-solving process can be used as a model for other students.  

This page has several video/audio recordings of students' application of the CPR-L problem solving process. These students participate in the NSF-sponsored HBCU-UP-LINC program, and are STEM majors at Langston University.

Calvin Hawkins

Calvin, Senior Chemistry/Mathematics major,  demonstrates how he used the CPR-L process to solve a chemistry problem that involves; limiting reagents. Watch video.

Kendra Vann

Kendra, a Junior Chemistry major, demonstrates how she used the CPR-L process to solve a chemistry  problem that involves the quantitative information from balancing equations. Watch video.

Tony Bridgewater

Tony, a Senior Chemistry major, shows how he used the CPRL process to analytically solve a physics problem involving a motionless sled at a 30 degree angle without friction. Watch video.
