How Students Learn [GSI Teaching & Resource Center]

See organizers' website for details. While graduate students do not need to become experts in how students learn, a basic understanding of the research on learning can enable GSIs to make informed teaching decisions. Drawing on research findings from neuroscience, anthropology, and cognitive and social psychology, this workshop will enable GSIs to consider ways to apply research-based principles to the learning environments they create for their students.   Zoom meeting information is linked above on the event page for your workshop under "Online Location/Join Online Event" *This workshop fulfills a requirement for the Certificate of Teaching & Learning in Higher Education.
