Helping Students Learn is a 3-part series on research-based teaching theories and methods. They will be led by Eric Burkholder (Auburn University, Engineering Education Researcher). These 3 sessions will introduce the basics of memory, learning and transfer, and assessment. Participants will be able to apply research from cognitive psychology directly to their instructional approach in a way that centers and promotes student learning and success.

The first session will be on February 26 with a focus on Accessing Prior Knowledge—Preparing Students to Learn New Material. Click here for a flyer with more information about the series.

Registration is limited. You can register for the first session here. 

The series is sponsored by the MANE Department and funded by the National Science Foundation grant # 2235345, NSF IUSE/PFE:RED A&I Curriculum integration through collaborative teaching and mentoring: adapting an integrated system for engineering formation
