Discussion sections offer an important opportunity to deepen student comprehension of course concepts through active learning approaches. But how do you get students to talk? What do you do if your students aren’t prepared? How can you create a classroom environment where all students feel comfortable participating? In this workshop, participants will learn strategies for facilitating engaging, inclusive class discussions and diverse learning activities that will help promote active participation and enrich their students' learning.
EVENT FORMAT: This workshop is an on-campus, in-person event.
EVENT FACILITATOR: Jacki Marie Putnam, PhD Student, Art History, jputna4@uic.edu
