The traditional university science curriculum was designed to train specialists in specific disciplines. However, in universities all over the world, science students are going into increasingly diverse careers and the current model does not fit their needs. Advances in technology also make certain modes of learning obsolete.
Teaching and Designing for Diverse Learners
Join us on May 2, 2019 for the 11th annual Teaching and Learning Conference. Learn with instructors as they share their research, teaching strategies, and much more in interactive workshops, panel discussions, and presentations.
The annual University of Waterloo Teaching and Learning Conference is organized by the Centre for Teaching Excellence.
