In this workshop, we discuss the "Questions First" teaching philosophy of Prof. Jérémie Lumbroso. Centering student questions has many benefits, including helping students build their confidence and critical thinking skills, as well as naturally helping make attendance to class seem valuable. We explore concrete strategies for enacting such a philosophy — with considerations such as […]

Managing office hours effectively can be challenging. This session will address strategies for respecting both students' needs and your own time. We’ll discuss approaches to streamline office hours, manage student interactions efficiently, and avoid extending office hours beyond what is practical. Faculty members who have successfully managed their office hours will share strategies and tips […]

In this workshop, we discuss how to tailor mathematical instruction to the needs and interests of computer science students, through the lens of Prof. Eric Wong's experiences with teaching mathematics for machine learning. We will examine what contributes to effective mathematics communication, including considerations such as pacing, presenting on the blackboard versus with slides, and […]

In this workshop, we will discuss how to effectively teach students introductory programming, through the lens of Prof. Steve Zdancewic's experiences with CIS 1200 (Programming Languages and Techniques). Topics we examine may include 1200's choice to teach two programming languages, OCaml and Java; considerations when designing programming projects; and strategies for managing a large course — […]

What are the most effective methods for developing and delivering interdisciplinary courses? What’s the difference between being faculty at an R1 versus a small, liberal-arts college (SLAC)? This seminar explores these questions and more, from the key aspects of creating and effectively teaching an interdisciplinary curriculum, to choosing between different academic career paths. Professor Danaë […]

Do you ever worry that your students' eyes will glaze over the second you show them a formula? Have you worried that you'll lose your audience when you show them your notation? In this CTL discussion, we will talk about the levers of control you have over your notation. We will discuss what is going […]

With the rise of hybrid teaching models, how can educators seamlessly merge traditional classroom experiences with online platforms? How can educators harness the power of emerging technologies to elevate the learning experience? Professor Ryan Baker will facilitate a discussion on the topic drawing from his extensive research on the topic. All graduate students are welcome. This […]

In the dynamic world of engineering education, delivering impactful lectures is paramount. Professor Boon Thau Loo, recipient of the Lindback Award for Teaching Excellence, will delve into the nuances of lecture preparation, explore techniques to structure content compellingly and strike the delicate balance between audience interaction and lecture flow. Additionally, in this workshop we will […]
