Student Panel - My Experiences with Different Course Modalities: What Worked for Me
Facilitated by Marko Dumančić
In this panel discussion we will visit with students from across the university to hear their perspectives and experiences with hybrid learning in Fall 2020. We will ask them about what worked well, what might have worked better and what they would like to see continue in Spring 2021.
Inclusive Teaching Strategies
Alicia Pennington & Cierra Waller
Inclusive teaching is about helping all students feel like they belong and can succeed in your class no matter their background (i.e. introversion, socioeconomic background, ideology, gender, ethnicity or race). It's about teaching and designing a course in a way that fosters the talents of all students. Join us to discuss ideas on how to tweak your course to include inclusive teaching strategies, three easy principles for inclusive teaching, and five ways to inclusively interact with students.
