Description:
What happens when students become partners in teaching and learning? (CTE770)
Join Steve Balaban (School of Accounting and Finance) and his students as they describe and demonstrate some of the various exciting, interactive exercises that Steve plans for his students to help them make sense of concepts related to finance and help them develop skills they'll need outside the classroom.
Planning weekly classroom activities that encourage students to take more responsibility for their learning can be time consuming for the instructor as it requires more advance planning. But the pay-off is worth it. Instructor and students alike are more engaged and come to class more prepared. In addition to learning the finance concepts, the students learn the value of getting to know their classmates. They benefit from the instructor's real-world experience, and they are able to practice professional, transferable skills that will serve them long after the course is over.
The goals of the IEE series are
- to raise awareness about opportunities available to students to participate in experiential learning,
- to share how students are making connections between learning in the classroom and learning that takes place outside the academic environment
- to highlight best practices outlining what instructors can do in the classroom to help foster students’ abilities to make these connections and
- to encourage new ideas about how experiential learning might be more often and effectively integrated into teaching and learning.
Facilitators: Steve Balaban, School of Accounting and Finance, and students from his AFM 204 course - Sam Luo, Tiffany Xie, and Bianca Vasu
