Faculty of Science Teaching and Learning Celebration
Please take a break from your busy schedule and join us to celebrate our teaching and learning successes in the Faculty of Science | Te Whare Pūtaiao. This is an opportunity to reflect and discuss teaching practices and find out about initiatives that shape our curriculum. Lightning talks will provide an overview of the scholarly work and teaching improvements that are currently happening in our classrooms. We will also hear from students about their learning experiences, what motivates them, connects them to their teachers, the discipline and the faculty.
All UoA staff are welcome.
Hope to see you there!
