Saundra McGuire, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Learning and Teaching and Professor, Dept of Chemistry LSA
December 10, 2010 at 2pm EDT - free to all.
FridayLive! is pleased to present our good friend, Saundra McGuire, in this session designed to help faculty, learning center professionals, and student affairs personnel develop strategies to help students become independent, self-directed learners. A discussion of the characteristics of today’s students will help participants understand why many students lack effective learning strategies when they enroll in college, and how simple it is to teach them strategies for successful learning.
Reflection and think-pair-share activities will introduce participants to cognitive science research based methods that can be used to improve teaching and learning. The session will provide a variety of strategies that have proven successful in helping students experience meaningful, transferable learning.
