Eric Mazur's Peer Instruction: How Could It Work in Your Classroom?
TLC (TECH 111)
Facilitators: TLC Staff
Participants will view a video that follows Mazur as he teaches an introductory class. He explains his methods, why he uses them, and discusses the improvement in student learning outcomes that he, and others, have documented. Following the video, we will discuss our own responses to his pedagogy and how we might use some of Mazur's methods in our own classrooms.

Eric Mazur's Peer Instruction: Writing Conceptual Questions**
TLC (TECH 111)
Facilitators: TLC Staff
Mazur asks students conceptual questions about their reading prior to class, during the class session, and on exams. Mazur argues that these questions improve on traditional textbook and exam questions which are unlikely to examine the concept, or "why," of scientific phenomenon. This session will begin with a brief introduction to writing conceptual questions followed by participants rewriting current questions in conceptual form, in small groups or individually.
**Please bring several exam questions that you currently use.
