Location: EV1 241 Notes: Open to faculty (registration is required)
The WHIP Group is a collective of Waterloo faculty and staff who support the use of High Impact Practices in teaching and learning. WHIP Group members meet for lunch a few times a year to share their successes, challenges, and tips for High Impact teaching and learning. Our focus for this session is closed-loop problem-based learning. And the session runs longer than usual – 12:15 – 4:00 pm. During this session, you’ll have the opportunity to experience Problem-Based Learning (PBL) from a student’s perspective. Jeff Nagge will introduce us to PBL; we’ll then go through a PBL process breaking into small facilitated tutorial groups to help develop a better understanding of the process. We will wrap up the session with a Question and Answer panel session where you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions of those with varying degrees of experience facilitating closed-loop PBL. We’re delighted to have Justine Flanagan-Tordjman join us for this session. Justine is a former student of Jeff’s. She graduated in 2014. She has participated in the PBL process as a student, and currently is a PBL tutor for Jeff’s course.
A light lunch will be served. The session has limited space. Please register to hold your spot. As a courtesy to others, if you’ve registered, but are unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so others on the waiting list can attend.
Facilitators: Jeff Nagge (School of Pharmacy), Oscar Nespoli (Mechanical & Mechatronics Engineering), Steve Balaban (School of Accounting and Finance), Scott Anderson (CTE), Katherine Lithgow (CTE) and Justine Flanagan-Tordjman (a former student and a current tutor in closed-loop problem-based learning)
