The Large Class Challenge Series: Teaching UGs Inside & Outside Classroom
Speaker: Prof Amine BERMAK, Professor, Department of Electronic & Computer Engineering
Format: Seminar
In this series of seminars, award-winning Professors shared their experience of teaching large classes at HKUST with participants.
Motivating student and getting them involved in acquiring knowledge is very critical for achieving course outcomes and this is particularly challenging in large classes with diverse and polarized students populations.
In the seminar, the speaker discussed strategies and ways to achieve students’ engagement in active learning in the context of large engineering undergraduate classes. Some simple but practical techniques can be used to make students interested in the course and hence becoming active learners. While emphasis in this seminar will be placed on Engineering content, these techniques can be applied in any class whether it is a practical engineering course or an abstract theoretical course.
