Workshop 3 - Explore another teaching tool!


Feb 3 - The Benefits of Problems: How to use Problem-based Learning and Problem Solving to Promote Critical Thinking
242 Asmundson Hall (Big Jack Hanna Room)

Description: 
“This class taught me how to think.” Are you interested in getting feedback like this on your course evaluations? Interested in helping your students move beyond knowing course material to developing deep critical thinking skills? This workshop will introduce you to techniques you can use to help students assimilate information at a deeper level through problem-solving and problem-based learning. We’ll cover what problem-based learning is, how to use it, and provide examples of how problem-solving can be used in all types of classes–from the humanities to social sciences to STEM courses.
