The 2nd Semi-annual Social Science "Dean's Conversation" will
be held TOMORROW, DECEMBER 3rd, at 4:15p,
in the Tsai auditorium in CGIS South (1730 Cambridge St).
Celebrate the end of
the semester with a discussion about education!
It has been said that
Harvard students are so talented they would learn even if locked in a
closet for four years. How can we improve on such self-instruction? In
this "Dean's Conversation," Changing Education at Harvard: What
twenty years of research tells us about effective teaching and advising, Stephen Kosslyn (Dean of Social Science) will
moderate a discussion between Richard Light (Gale Professor of
Education) and Eric Mazur (Balkanski Professor of Physics) about their
separate approaches to studying how to maximize learning and engagement
in undergraduates.
There will be ample
opportunity for comments and questions from the audience!
We encourage faculty, staff, and students to
attend and to forward this invitation broadly.
This event is open to
the public.
