The STEM Teaching Discussions are meetings of Columbia graduate students and post-docs in STEM fields who are interested in evidence based teaching approaches to undergraduate teaching. During our meetings let by the CTL fellow Susie Newcomb, we draw on various resources and online videos to prompt discussion and short activities surrounding the week’s designated topic.
This week’s discussion and activities will give participants a chance to work with real lesson plans, discuss the aspects of effective lesson planning, and even generate a plan of their own for a current or future course.
Any current or future instructor at Columbia is welcome. No registration or preparation necessary — if you are interested in the topic and available, just drop by! Email Susie Newcomb at set2122@columbia.edu for more information. If you are interested, our materials are drawn from an online course offered through the CIRTL network: www.stemteachingcours
