Catering to Students' Needs

Public

Discussion:

This is my first time teaching Medical Terminology and I had no idea about the wealth of active learning resources available for the course. I initially began teaching the class by lecturing and then engaging them in PPT classroom response questions. The feedback I received from the students prompted me to drop the lecture style altogether. They were receptive to the classroom response questions so I continue to use those - but have now incorporated in-class worksheets and group activities. They now have fun while learning and are actively engaged - no more 'bombies!'
