Instructors are often surprised by the fact that students do not seem to be able to use what they learned in prior classes, or to make connections across classes that they are taking at the same time (“Am I the only one who forgets everything from the previous semester as soon as it’s over?” is the title of a Reddit thread started by one such student.). In this workshop, we will develop active strategies to counter this lack of connection by helping students integrate knowledge and skills that they learn in different classes. We will also relate these strategies to the broader approach of integrative learning.
