Group discussion
•
Is Lucas a deep learner? Why? Why
not?
•
What do we usually do in our courses
that results in surface learning?
•
What do we need to do to encourage
our students to take a deep approach to learning? How can we teach so that
Robert becomes like Susan?
•
What institutional changes, if any,
are required to promote a deep approach to learning?
•
Think of a course you are
teaching/taking, what specific changes would you introduce to promote deep
learning?
