Everything Everywhere and All in One Semester: A Roundtable on Teaching Intro-Level Courses

Introductory classes often carry a seemingly impossible mandate: we are tasked with covering vast ground while simultaneously instilling deep, foundational knowledges, skills, and habits of mind. To explore how we navigate those competing demands, Chris Howard (Neuroscience), Amy Margaris (Anthropology), Mike Moore (Biology), and Clinton Merck (Psychology) will participate in a conversation about the the core challenges of intro-level teaching—from curriculum design and balancing breadth with depth to preparing students for the road ahead. 

Whether you're a pro at teaching these sort of courses or still figuring them out, we hope you’ll join us for the conversation! 

Lunch will be served.  Please RSVP to sgutierr@oberlin.edu
