Strategy: Expert Guests

Guest speakers extend the boundaries of the classroom, helping students to see the course as a part of a larger network of ideas and conversations.

The expert’s visit presents an external motivation for students to engage with readings and assignments.

Careful planning can help to ensure that guest contributions will enhance student learning.

Let guests know ahead of time the topic of the course and how their visits fit with the themes of the class.

Assign students to submit questions in the expert’s area of interest.

Avoid presentations; invite the expert to class to participate in an interview instead.

Consider inviting guests with opposing views. Slide7

Strategy: Student Generated Questions

Write a question

Instead of asking, “are their any questions?”, have students write down 1 – 3 questions. Instead of answering the questions, have other students try to answer first.

Exam questions

Alone, in pairs, or in groups of 3, have students write exam questions about the material covered in class.
