How can I heighten student participation in my sections? What are different ways I can plan a discussion and ask questions of students? How can I enhance students’ critical thinking skills? This seminar will provide GSIs in social science and humanities disciplines with effective active learning discussion strategies, including activities like brainstorming, minute papers, think-pair-share, case studies, and a jigsaw discussion. Seminar participants will learn and practice active learning techniques for facilitating discussions, managing common discussion challenges, asking effective questions, and enhancing and evaluating student participation.
