Center for Teaching & Learning

All STEM students who are admitted to the institution have the ability to succeed in STEM courses. However, most do not have effective learning strategies and resort to memorizing information just before tests.

This interactive workshop will introduce faculty to cognitive science research-based learning strategies that will help all students experience meaningful, transferable learning.

The session will focus on ways to teach STEM students simple yet powerful learning strategies to ensure success in STEM courses.

This workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Saundra McGuire, author of Teach Students How to Learn. Dr. McGuire, Director Emerita of Louisiana State University’s Center for Academic Success, is a chemist and educator who has presented around the world on the science of learning. She has a particular interest in supporting underrepresented students in math and STEM fields, but her work on metacognition and motivation has applications in every field.

This workshop is part of the Kroepsch-Maurice Faculty Development and Lecture Series.
