You Talk, or They Talk?

Sherwood Frey, Darden, All-University Teaching Award Winner 2001-02

Many teachers would prefer that students think carefully about assigned material before class meetings and then develop and share serious ideas about the topic under consideration. But too often in class, teachers find themselves doing much of the talking during a "discussion." In this workshop on discussion leading, participants comparing ideas about a brief case study of teaching will experience and examine effective strategies and techniques that come from case teaching but that can be used in a wide variety of discussion-based teaching situations.
