Bueller? Bueller? Do your students often have that glazed look?

This interactive workshop will provide you with practical tips on how to simplify complex concepts, how to assess students' understanding of concepts throughout a lecture, and how to encourage student participation in class to increase student engagement and mastery of course material.
