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.
