通識午餐聚會 GE Lunch Seminar
把握教機──指導學生進行專題研習的技巧與範例
PBL: Problem Based Learning or Particulars Before Leaving

專題研習重視培養學生的自學能力。明確的作業指引及期望更有助同學在課後完成他們的專題研習。Professor Carothers在是次的通識午餐聚會將會講授專題研習的教學技巧，並示範如何在課堂裡面，讓同學參與制定專題研習的評分標準。此外，為了讓與會者更理解同學在課堂上的參與及互評如何有助提升他們在專題研習上的表現，與會者將需要分成不同的小組，就著Professor Carothers給予的專題研習題目及指引進行小組討論、匯報，以及同儕互評

Project based learning engages students in their own learning. Project explanation and expectation prepare students to work outside of class time on the project. This GE lunch seminar models how to use class time to involve students in understanding the project and to include students in determining the rubric for project evaluation before leaving the classroom. Seminar participants are introduced to a project and guided through small group discussion to produce project solutions, critique, and evaluate the solutions as a group according to the rubric. This method of reflection and peer review integrates project performance and feedback for greater understanding.
