Engaging Conversations
Primary tabs
It is easy for students to slip into a “plug and chug” mentality when the focus of coursework is on quantitative and analytical problem solving and testing is geared toward numeric answers. What can you do to help students develop the conceptual understanding that is key to mstering a content area?
This session will highlight how two faculty are incorporating writing in homework assignments, exam questions, and out-of-class experiments in order to promote learning. Come join the conversation about the strategies they’re using, the grading rubric they’ve developed, and what their research findings suggest.
