Do you want to design problems that will help your students develop their critical thinking skills and understand your course content better? How do you help students learn how to do the problems in section without giving them the answers? In this session, we will explore principles of problem design and best practices for running problem-based sections. We will practice evaluating problem sets and different types of feedback. You will leave this session with strategies to design and teach problem sets to better help students learn.

This workshop is being offered as part of Winter Teaching Week and is designed for GSAS PhD students and others at similar career stages engaged in the teaching of Harvard College undergraduates. Pre-registration is required.
