Description

"Teaching is a gift. The importance and relevance of content will be intuitively obvious to students. Teach the class you’d like to take." Such assumptions are mistaken and can make it difficult to teach effectively. This workshop discuses these and other assumptions to help faculty get on the right track for teaching excellence.
