The traditional lecture mode is the oldest and most widely used teaching method. However, when compared to other teaching methods, it is often not as effective in areas such as student retention of information and problem-solving. Join us as we will explore ways this enhanced lecture method can be more effective; e.g., in organization, delivery, and student engagement.

Barbara Oakley says that “students fool themselves into thinking they’re learning.” Students may believe that they “know” the content and that they can easily retrieve what they learned; however when it comes down to doing assignments or exams, they are often unsuccessful. Come and learn how to teach our students how to be more efficient and effective learners.
