This
second series of seminars explored effective ways to engage students in
a variety of learning activities. Each seminar focused on one strategy.
Practical advice was given by facilitators who had used this strategy in
their own teaching. In all seminars the issue of how to implement new strategies
without increasing your workload unduly was addressed.

a role play of tutoring strategies which are important if case-based
teaching is to be successful. These strategies would also be helpful
for running other types of tutorials and seminars. There was a discussion
of preparing students for group work, as cases are commonly tackled
by groups.

Assessment of individual contributions to group projects |
by
Prof. David Kember
18 Nov 2003
Students
often complain that group projects are unfair because all group
members get the same mark however much or little they contribute
to the project. This seminar demonstrated a method for adjusting
marks for projects based upon students rating their colleagues'
contribution to the work of the group. The method has been successfully
implemented in many courses in Hong Kong with positive student feedback.
