Teaching general education to students with diverse backgrounds can be extremely challenging. Determining the level of difficulties of the course content, meeting the expectations of students from different faculties, and arousing their interests towards the course, are all headache problems.

In this General Education lunch seminar, the speaker will share her experience on how to solve these headache problems in her teaching of University General Education courses in Area B “Nature, Science and Technology” by using different teaching tools and methods. She will also share her experience in inviting students to prepare an online question bank to encourage higher-order thinking and to cultivate a peer-learning environment.
