Description
For new faculty members and teaching veterans alike, structuring and facilitating class discussions is often one of our most challenging pedagogical undertakings. As we return to the classroom following the trauma and uncertainty of the pandemic, many faculty report that it feels like more of a struggle than ever to engage students in the kinds of conversations that will help them to solidify their understanding. In this session, a panel of faculty innovators, Rebecca Adelman (Media & Communication Studies) and Foad Hamidi (Information Systems), will share strategies for stimulating productive class discussions and heading off common pitfalls. We will consider ways to prepare and motivate students for discussion, facilitate student-to-student interaction, and synthesize students' comments to connect them to your broader learning objectives.
