Pedagogy in Bioethics and Medical Humanities

1.5 Unit

This course is intended to provide participants with the chance to learn innovative, effective, and evidence-based teaching strategies that are useful in bioethics and medical humanities classrooms. Seminar discussions, led by a variety of Department faculty, will offer opportunities to explore pedagogy theories, teaching philosophies, discussion and activity-leading strategies, classroom dynamics, formative and summative assessments, dealing with contemporary challenges including AI and plagiarism, and course design strategies. In addition, students will gain hands-on experience leading a weekly small-group discussion of Master's students, and observing classes taught by department faculty.
