My Last Talking about Teaching: How Team-Based Learning Changed my Teaching and Research 

Dr. Jan Newberry

Friday, March 21 | 1 to 3 PM

Location: M1090

In 2105, I redesigned my Anthropology 1000 course using team-based learning. Since that time, I have adopted and modified this approach across all the courses I teach. My approach to collaboration in research was changed too. Team-based learning helped in decolonizing my ethnographic research, even as I developed new projects in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). In this my last talk about my experiences as a teacher and researcher at the UofL, I will describe not just what worked and what didn’t, but also how team-based learning made me better at being both.
