PechaKucha

Why PechaKucha?Professor:

"Instead of passive listening to somebody talk about a topic that students don’t actually find all that interesting to begin with... knowing that they are on the hook for a presentation to their peers... definitely got them thinking about it. Engagement lasted beyond that because they were immediately asked to use those skills throughout the semester."

Why PechaKucha? Researching a topic

Why PechaKucha?Searching Strategies

Professor: “When I get to the point of building the syllabus for it you know in August or whenever it is, I'll send you an e-mail and say 'Hey, I'm working on the syllabus. How can we encapsulate this experience into the grading scheme?”
