Tuesday, October 1, 3-4:45pm
CITRAL - UCSB Library Room 1576 (First Floor, Ocean Side)
RSVP to attend ​by September 26​!

In university courses, learning is always situated within one or more disciplines. This workshop invites you to view your own discipline in ways that help you articulate and teach it to students. Collaborate to identify and communicate how people within your discipline operate: what kinds of questions are asked, what evidence or data are collected, how the evidence or data are interpreted, and how knowledge is represented. Work collaboratively to learn language, strategies, and activities that will be useful within specific classes and across departments. Participants are asked to [lease read "​How Experts Differ from Novices​" and "C​ommunities of Practice​" prior to the session, which you can find in the​ ​Box folder​ for the workshops.
