活动简介

Modern teaching philosophies (such as active learning, student-centered teaching or whole-person education) emphasize a high level of engagement of students and vibrant interaction in the classroom. Especially in large classes, this may not be easy to achieve. The difficulty is often increased by cultural norms that discourage students from speaking out. I share some experiences and strategies that help me overcome the student-instructor barrier, promote collaboration among students, and encourage active participation in the course, both inside and outside the classroom.
