Eleanor Finnegan, Assistant Director, Faculty Programming, Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning

This can be a daunting prospect, but effective teaching ultimately is not just (or even primarily) about mastering or communicating a specific body of content. It is about rendering transparent to students the rules of the disciplinary game(s) they are being asked to play...

In the first part of the session...
