T5: Talking Through Teaching Tensions Together

Whether our class is more quantitative or more qualitative, whether it includes experiments to validate theoretical results in the sciences or discussions of techniques and meaning present in great works of art, all our courses share one thing in common — a syllabus.  Just as the syllabus is universal, so it seems is the struggle to get students to engage with it.  In our first series, we discuss approaches to designing and discussing the syllabus to encourage student engagement.  In this episode, we welcome Amy Vizenor, Associate Professor in Education at Gustavus Adolphus College.

If you have ever faced some tension in your role as a professor, then you are in the right place.  Welcome to T5 - Talking Through Teaching Tensions Together.  Join us as we talk through strategies for navigating some of the challenges of academia.
