Where did all the scholars go? Effective teaching and responsive learning in the new millennium
Tuesday 29 May 2001 16:00 Brian Spratt Room
     
Richard S. Culver
SUNY-Binghamton, NY
 

Students and the academic culture have changed significantly since most of us were students.

  • How do we engage students in the learning process?
  • Were we really as motivated as we now remember?
  • How can we change the environment in order to get more effective results from our students?
  • What are the special problems for teaching technical subjects, such as I.T. and applied mathematics?
In this seminar, we will explore these questions and look at the student as a developing individual. Methods for stimulating more effective learning will be proposed. In the discussion period, the presenter will be interested to hear ideas on these issues that come from the British approach to higher education.
