Small Class teaching-Baocun Zhang
Description:
In my experience in the small class, some students did not do any preparation for the course. It is very hard for these students to catch up the class pace and struggle for the class activities. Like this, the students would be overwhelmed with the course and cannot absorb the knowledge effectively. To address the challenges, the design will combine the Flipped Classroom, JiTT exercises and STREAM. This would promote students participation central to the course.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Increase the understanding of the students
- Enable students to learn at their own pace
- Facilitate deeper and advanced learning
