Active learning techniques help students learn nuanced concepts by providing opportunities for in-class problem solving and discussion. This workshop will present some background on the pedagogy of active learning, and it will offer practical tips for designing classroom exercises for teaching writing and speaking. The emphasis will be on helping students to bridge the gap between communicating their technical expertise and understanding the needs of multiple audiences.
All WAC workshops are open to faculty and teaching assistants who are interested in integrating writing and speaking into their subjects.
