Educators Symposium @ MODELS 2008

Program, September 29, 2006

All the registered EduSymp participants will receive a copy of the proceedings book (click here for paper abstracts).

Some of the “tricks and tips” submissions are published on this website (see below).

IMPORTANT

Participants of the Educators Symposium are asked to send to the EduSymp chair (smialek AT iem DOT pw DOT edu DOT pl) a short description of a “teaching artifact”. This should describe a teaching technique, exercise format, questions asked, games conducted during lectures or labs, clever little model examples, assignment ideas and so on. A single such “artifact” should represent a small unit used wholly within (being perhaps a small part of) a single class or session. These artifacts will be used within the “tricks and tips” session.
