Encourage students to develop a deep approach to learning.
Research show that students who approach learning in a “deep” way get more out of their educational experience. By providing meaningful assessments, offering appropriate choices, and showing enthusiasm for your subject, you can help students become deep learners.
The Atonement should be an integral part of personal development and discipleship.
The Atonement as salvation for sin is relatively well understood. Less obvious is the enabling strength available to those who rely on Christ’s sacrifice to become better in every aspect of life.
The Learning Suite Schedule helps students by making information readily available, easier to access, and more organized.
Professor Devin Asay explains how the scheduling feature in Learning Suite provides a launching pad for his syllabus and helps to facilitate student awareness.
Changing paradigms from "what shall I do in class?" to "what will my students do in class?" provides students with the best learning opportunities.
While teaching with the intent to be liked by students can be tempting, more important is to design and teach your courses with a focus on what students actually will learn.
Perhaps simply addressing boredom in your class may be one of the most important things to do in order to promote student engagement.
Though addressing the fact that some students may be bored in your class may feel uncomfortable, doing so can greatly assist them to take more responsibility for their learning. Research suggests that instructors who teach students how to see value and relevance in what they are being taught are able to maximize the students’ learning potential.
