Experienced teachers will lead a dialogue with those attending about lessons learned from teaching classes in mathematics, statistics, analytics, technology and communication. The session will focus on discussion of how to provide the best instruction in a class. Designing instruction for a course is a constrained optimization problem with numerous criteria and constraints. Members of the audience will be invited to participate with their questions and lessons learned. Discussion will address a variety of topics including:
Establishing course content to best prepare students for their future based on best practices at other institutions and by obtaining feedback from employers and instructors of courses that come after your course in the students’ program
Selecting and using software for the course based on cost to the student, anticipated value to the student, and your knowledge
Determining the external supplements such as textbooks, homework managers, automated response systems, applets, etc. that will be used to aid instruction
Creating the types of assessments/assignments that will allow you to assess the important things a student has learned and promote the learning of important skills
Structuring course activities to effectively engage the students in the course and promote the desired learning
- Establishing an effective style for you that best fits your students and you
