      Instructions: 

      Read chapter 2, "Teaching according to how students learn", p. 16–33 from Biggs, J., Tang, C. 2011: Teaching for Quality Learning at the University.

      Read the text so that you can discuss it with your peers both in your small group as well as in class. The title of this box and the title of the book are both links to the e-book. You can download a pdf file of the pages you want.

      Instructions:

      • Visit  an exercise class where you act as an observer. If possible, visit a class of your group members or your course mates. 
      • Focus on interaction in the classroom and note down at least the following: How was it created? What approaches were used? Which aspects you found supported students' learning process? You can add reflections and insights of your own. Be specific, be positive, and give constructive feedback. 
      • Use the feedback form for this; it appears below this text after clicking on the title of this box. The form has generic instructions on points to pay attention to when observing a teaching session. You may follow these instructions to expand your observation, but remember that your task this time is to focus on interaction. Give your feedback to your peer/the teacher (ask them first if they want the feedback; you may also elaborate on your feedback verbally with them), and submit it to this submission box with the name of the observed peer/teacher removed. This feedback is visible only to the course teachers.
