Mathematics Teaching Seminars
Mathematics Teaching seminars are about innovations and projects that are underway in teaching maths and stats at UQ.
Each fortnight we will meet and talk about some hot issue, and hear from people that are trying new things out.
We hope to generate some good ideas, new collaborations and teaching grant proposals, and an all round good feeling about maths teaching at UQ.
Everyone is most welcome to come and contribute, from tutors in their first semester of teaching/tutoring to our wonderful Professors!
5 top reasons why you should come
- UQ Maths prides itself on the quality of its teaching—we can only improve this.
- Get some new ides to energise your current teaching and see what others are doing.
- Find out what to write in the "Scholarship of Teaching" box on your annual appraisal (maybe you can write I went to the maths teaching seminars)
- Find collaborators and ideas for a teaching grant proposal
- It has been known that cakes, scones, and other nice things mysteriously appear afterwards in the maths tea room.
