“It was illuminating to rethink how I structure my class, going from the standard ‘teach this list of topics’ to ‘what do I want students to learn?’.”
– Charles Camacho, Assistant Teaching Professor, Mathematics“All of the sessions were super helpful and allowed me to stretch my thinking. I appreciated learning from my colleagues and UW education experts.”
– Casey Self, Teaching Professor, Biology“The one-on-one consultation was vital. I got to meet a lot of other professors with similar class sizes (and even larger ones), and I got to hear how they approached it. I’m very satisfied with this and would recommend this to any professor.”
– Patty Buchanan, Associate Teaching Professor, Engineering
