Abstract for the conference program
To prepare students for success in STEM courses it is often necessary to implement measures that assist them with the development of necessary concomitant learning and study skills. Fully engaging students in performance enhancing problem solving activities that promote the sound development of essential critical thinking and logical reasoning skills/abilities is a must. Getting them to incorporate a myriad of high impact learning and study strategies into their daily routines is equally urgent In this session a tried and effective method of accomplishing those objectives is explored and illustrated. Furthermore, post-secondary STEM instructors will be engaged in a cooperative learning activity that simulates desired pedagogical strategies that lead to successfully preparing students for performance excellence in STEM courses. Through an exploration of, and engagement with, suitable assessment methods, participants will also gain an understanding of ways of effectively performing both formative and summative evaluation of the overall process.
