BioTAP Facilitation Strategies for Effective Teaching – Sept 28, 2017

Challenges that still exist:

  • Being familiar with subject matter (ie getting up to speed)
  • Keeping up with the academic cycle (midterm times vs ‘slow times’)
  • Strategies to deal with classroom situations
  • Helping students to know what to focus on in assignments/course work

Strategies that helped:

  • Giving expectations/objectives
  • Learning names of students
  • Offering to follow up – teach them the process of finding the answers when you don’t know it
