Teaching Colloquium Series

Upcoming Colloquia

Location: PB 390 or on Zoom

Speaker: Oscar Vega, Ph.D.

Abstract: Maintaining students engaged in class has been shown to create a positive effect on the learning of mathematics at all levels. In this presentation, I will channel information that I have come across regarding group work and the art of asking questions that elicit participation in class. I may share some anecdotal evidence from my personal experience, though I am a practitioner and not an expert. In any case, I hope that this presentation will generate discussions about teaching mathematics among colleagues.
