Embracing Change @ SFU
Symposium Encore Series | September to November 2013 | Burnaby campus
The Symposium Encore Series is a repeat offering of selected sessions from the 2013 Symposium on Teaching and Learning, which addressed the theme of Embracing Change.
If you were unable to attend the Symposium, or if you missed a session that you wanted to attend, this is your opportunity to catch up. Hear about the approaches your colleagues have been trying in the classroom and pick up new tools and ideas for your own teaching practice.
