EFFECTIVE COLLEGE TEACHING WORKSHOP

RICHARD FELDER AND REBECCA BRENT

The two day workshop will cover:

How do students learn? How do teachers teach? What often goes wrong in the process?

How do I plan a course?  What do I do on the first day?

How can I be a better lecturer?

How can I get students actively involved on learning? How can I get them to learn from each other (cooperative learning)?

How can I teach students to solve problems creatively?

How can I create tests that are both rigorous and fair?

What student-related problems am I likely to face (classroom management, emotional crises, cheating, etc.)? How should I deal with them?
