Teaching Tips
Drexel University’s imminent move to semesters, with its accompanying project of large-scale course redesign, presents a unique opportunity for re-thinking how our courses respond (or fail to respond) to the existential urgency of climate change.
Inclusive Teaching
With each new group of students comes a new batch of names to learn. While some instructors are able to master a large number of student names in a short amount of time, most of us struggle with this task, even though we are aware of its many benefits. Not surprisingly, students whose instructors learn their names, or make an honest attempt to do so, feel more valued, more engaged, and have a stronger sense of belonging in their courses.
Active and Collaborative Learning
Collaborative teaching offers a powerful opportunity for overcoming pedagogical solitude while offering students wide-ranging intellectual, professional, and socioemotional benefits.
