Teaching Strategies-Calc Workshops

Below are teaching strategies that can be applied to most workshops, but specifically help during Calculus/math workshops.

  • Start each workshop by going over concepts of lecture material from that week
  • Ask students to bring up any topics/webwork questions they may be confused on
  • As you go through the workshop emphasize places in each concept that students make common mistakes on exams
  • When it comes time for the exam, ask students if a review session would help or compile a document of all the lecture summaries from the workshops and send that out
    • promote using YouTube videos for helps on topics that are still confusing to them
  • If you are able, stay after workshop for 10-15 minutes to answer any questions they may have that don’t specifically regard the workshop
  • During the workshop, encourage students to private message you with any questions and then anonymously go over them as a whole group
