Students find review sessions and recitations most productive when the session leader is responsive to their needs and questions. Determining areas or topics where students need the most support can be difficult. In this webinar, we will discuss strategies for (1) eliciting student questions, (2) collaborative problem-solving, (3) small group discussions, and (4) continuing conversations in informal channels. Join us to see demonstrations from IUPUI instructors, experience a brainstorming activity, and co-create an artifact.

Good assessment practices include checking students’ learning on a regular basis during the learning experience. They provide faculty with feedback on what, how much, and how well their students are learning. Instructors can use this feedback to modify their teaching to improve student learning. It helps students reflect on their learning and identify gaps in their knowledge. In this webinar, participants will learn the difference between formative and summative assessment as well as how to implement formative assessment techniques in different teaching contexts and disciplines. Questions and discussion will be encouraged.
