Members will learn strategies for making courses more engaging,teaching content more effectively, improving and assessing student mastery, while enhancing professionalism and the intrinsic rewards and joys of teaching.
Benefits: Benefits are many including being more professional and enjoying your teaching more well as developing new strategies to help your students both while learning and while they are engaging in the learning process at UHMC.
