  • Submit the form in MyCourses "Returning of Teaching observation #2". with the name of the observed peer/teacher removed. Use filename <FirstName>_<Lastname>_LA2_observations (e.g., "Jukka_Parviainen_LA2_observations.pdf")

  3. Group work #2: reflect on the teaching session and the reading assignment before contact session 8.3.2018. Arrange a meeting with your small group.
