This Week for Faculty: Learning Through Discussion & Teaching Large Classes Workshops
Discussions can be meaningful and engaging learning experiences. However, challenges can arise in the form of unequal participation, unclear learning outcomes, or difficult topics that turn into difficult classroom moments. In this session, faculty will explore a three-step process to ensure that students understand the why and how of discussion and leave class with clear takeaways.
