Description:
Many early-career faculty in Geography and Geoscience departments are placed in a classroom teaching an introductory course - Human, World, Physical, or GIS - with or without prior teaching experience and very little mentoring or guidance on what practices work and what do not, what students respond to and what they do not. This session will compare practices and discuss methods for teaching the introductory to human and/or world geography courses that are taught at so many universities. The participants will share their experience teaching the course, their format for the course, and what does and does not work in the classroom (projects vs. exams, teaching online vs. in-person, teaching online asynchronously vs. synchronously, assignment types, online platforms, etc). Anyone interested is invited to also share their experiences in teaching the course, along with ideas on how to give students the best experience in learning about human and/or world geography, in the hopes that instructors new to the course will have some insight on where to begin their journey in teaching these dynamic subjects.
