Summaries

Summary Sentence: Join us for a teaching and learning workshop.

Full Summary: No summary paragraph submitted.

Teamwork is an essential part of life for Georgia Tech students, and incorporating groups and teams in our classes can be a valuable part of their learning experience. It can also be a pain in the posterior. Students don’t always function well in teams, instructors worry about how to grade them fairly, and most of us wonder if we’re doing right by our students when problems arise.

Join us for this workshop featuring Dr. Mary Lynn Realff, who leads the Effective Team Dynamics initiative at Georgia Tech, and Dr. Ruth Poproski from the Center for Teaching and Learning. We’ll share new tools for preventing and managing barriers to effective teamwork, strategies and frameworks for inspiring honest and thoughtful feedback through peer evaluation, and an array of evidence-based approaches to creating rich learning experiences for students through their participation in team-based projects.

Lunch will be provided.
