Changing Our Minds About Teaching

Maha Bali, Robin DeRosa, and Mike Truong discuss changing our minds about teaching on episode 200 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

I have learned that I don’t need to defend technology.
—Mike Truong

What happens if you structurally start to build [courses] around the real-world issues that students are bringing in?
—Robin DeRosa

In certain times of my life I think better in a synchronous way, talking to someone immediately. And other times I just need to step back and write.
—Maha Bali
