2017 Teaching and Learning Spring Conference

On May 9-11, I participated in the 2017 Teaching and Learning Spring Conference at Michigan State University. I was one of the panelists for the session described below.

Sharing Strategies for Use of Student Teams in MSU Courses
With Kathleen Hoag, Kendra Spence Cheruvelil, Adele Denison, Jenahvive Morgan, Rachel Morris, and Mariane Wolfe
This session will be an interactive panel session to share information on the use of student teams in MSU courses. Panelists from various STEM disciplines and attendees will use iClicker 2 classroom response devices (provided, but bring along your own if you have one!) to collectively discover the myriad ways in which student teams are used at MSU. The panel will prepare questions to poll the audience about how they have used student teams. Question themes will include: methods for creating student teams, the ultimate goal/outcome of the student teams, whether peer assessment is utilized, etc.
