Teaching Centre - Talking About Teaching
“Are We Challenging Our Students with Dangerous Ideas?”
Do we cover less controversial topics because they can cause feelings of discomfort among students in the class? If we are not challenging our students to deal with controversial issues, have we done enough to prepare them to be citizens in the world? Is that the job of the university?
All instructors and graduate students are encouraged to attend this workshop presented by the Teaching Centre.
Monday March 16th through Friday March 21st, Edmonton Campus
Diversity and Culture Breaks: Enjoy food, music and cultural sharing during evening class breaks all week on the Edmonton campus. Brought to you by fourth year Management student Justin Pesheau and Dr. Robbin Derry.
