Student Feedback: “I Just Want to Have Fun”

Now is one of the most challenging points in the academic year.  How do we combat the post-spring-break lull, student and instructor burnout, and the “is the semester over yet!?!?” mentality?  While worksheets and problems up at the board are powerful, can we design active learning that students find more “fun”?  We’ll demo and design content-centered games or activities. Have an activity/idea to share? Bring it with!!!

What is the Community of Practice?

The Community of Practice is a space for everyone in the department (lecturers, GTAs, faculty) to come together and have chats, professional development, speakers, workshops, and more related to teaching and learning. There’s no sign-up; simply attend if you want! If you would like to be involved in any planning or would like to run a session, please email me (henathan@uwm.edu) and let me know.

The Community of Practice Canvas Site

We have a Community of Practice Canvas site where we keep a signup and modules for past sessions. If you would like to enroll, here is the link: https://uws-td.instructure.com/enroll/XK96LD
