However, a heavy emphasis on grades may be detrimental to long term motivation. We need to foster both intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy if we want life-long learning to develop. 10:45 - 11:00 - Break 11:00 - 12:15 Classroom Techniques: lecture design and delivery - Dr. Kenneth J. Takeuchi, Chemistry Department, University at Buffalo In light of the regular usage of lectures in the classroom, this presentation will discuss some aspects of course design, student assignments, course syllabus, and classroom activities, with a focus on lecture design and delivery. The discussion of lecture design and delivery will be structured based on four educational goals: information, organization, motivation, and learning. 12:15 - 1:15 - Lunch 1:15 - 2:30 The Use of Interrupted Case Method: A cooperative learning strategy that works - Dr. Clyde Herreid, Distinguished Teaching Professor, University at Buffalo 2:30 - 2:45 - Break 2:45 - 4:15 Six Decades: Lessons Learned - Dr. Wilbert McKeachie, Department of Psychology, University at Michigan Among the lessons I have learned are that what works for one student may not work for another, that what works for one class may not work for the next, and that what works for a class early in the term may not be effective later in the term. 4:15 - 4:30 Concluding Remarks & Assessment- Dr. Mary Anne Rokitka, Associate Professor, School of Medicine; Assistant Dean, Undergraduate Education =========END OF E-MAIL MESSAGE============= --- You are currently subscribed to fact-l as: [log in to unmask] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [log in to unmask] ------ End of Forwarded Message
