  • 9/13 - Crafting Dialogue and Discussion Questions

    You are invited to participate in a series of informal teaching talks throughout 2019.  These are opportunities for participants to comfortably share teaching concerns and discuss techniques and strategies with colleagues, experts, and CETL staff.  All sessions will take place in Rowe 319 except via WebEx dates.  All UConn instructors —graduate students, TAs, and APIRs, as well as adjunct, tenure-track and tenured faculty—are encouraged to attend.

    Contact Stacey Valliere if you have questions or would like more information.

     

     

    Friday, September 13             1:00-2:15                                 Crafting dialogue and discussion questions

    For instructors, posing good questions can make the difference for effective class discussion and dialogue. Come share how structured conversations promote critical thinking and build community in classes large and small. We will explore how you can design your course with discussion and dialogue opportunities in class and on HuskyCT, and what to think about when you're crafting good questions for this purpose. Consider registering for the companion workshop, “Podcast and audio assignments” right afterwards!
