The Science Teaching Journal Club is a partnership of the Science Literacy Program and the Teaching Engagement Program. Each week we read, discuss, and put into practice an article exploring issues relevant to teaching and learning in college science classrooms. Participants from across rank and discipline are welcome to join us for the sessions where we intentionally put into practice evidence-based teaching.
Journal Club meets Thursdays at 9 a.m. in LISB 217.
Fall 2018 Journal Club Readings:
This term in Journal Club we will focus on inclusivity, active learning, and assessment which are the three pillars of Scientific Teaching. We look forward to exploring these topics with you.
