Course Outlines and Syllabus
We encourage using a variety of pedagogical formats (interactive lectures, discussion groups, audiovisual/web materials and presentations to engage your class and allow students with different learning styles to excel. If you plan to use student presentations to deliver some required course materials or concepts, we want you to know that in our collective experience(s), presentations, particularly in early year courses, can sometimes fall short of the mark. Even with presentations, we have material prepared to help the class successfully learn / engage with the week’s concepts and the main points of required materials. We would encourage you to think about developing a similar plan on presentation days, because as a Department we take our teaching (and our teaching reputation, as a group) seriously.
