Active Learning
February 11, 2011 | 1:00-3:00 PM | Location: Maxwell Dworkin G115
A Chinese proverb asserts a familiar truism about teaching and learning - “tell me and I will forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I will understand." Neuroscience research is beginning to bear this out, showing that students’ active engagement in the classroom leads to longer retention of information. Join the first Conversations@FAS to explore the topic of active learning, the impact of new technologies on teaching, and the changing role of the professor in the classroom today.
