Knowing your students is essential to effective teaching. In this session, Gina and Beth will present current research on U.S. college students, their preparation for college, their use of technology, their learning styles, and their expectations of what they will encounter at the university. The presenters will explore whether and how these larger trends apply to Washington University students, and what the implications are for faculty as they plan and refine their courses. |
