Session Description
It is well known that a majority of the instructors in higher education are content experts. It is no shock that many of these instructors have little to no training in education or teaching techniques. It is through previous experience that many of these professors came to learn how to teach. The importance of this study is to provide educators with tools that they can use to enhance their teaching techniques.
