CTE Home >> Workshops >> CTE Workshops >> Teaching and Learning >> Teaching Large Classes
This workshop is designed to help prepare faculty for teaching a large enrollment class. Although definitions of what constitutes a large class can vary, this workshop will help anyone who needs to prepare to teach a class of 50 or more students, or more simply put, one that is larger than they are accustomed to teaching. We will cover a range of issues from logistical (i.e. attendance, classroom management, and testing / assessment) to pedagogical (interactive lecturing, active learning techniques, and group assignments).
Outcomes:
By the end of this session, you should be able to
- Identify some of the key challenges associated with teaching a large enrollment class.
- Improve the effectiveness of your lectures.
- Improve student participation and preparedness.
- Consider alternative forms of testing and assessment to compliment traditional multiple choice tests.
