SOM M2 Content Connections groups at 1 and 3 pm on Thursday, August 12, 2010

Content connections provides students with a small group session designed to discuss important concepts from each weeks lecture. Students pair up and select one of several topics and through active discussion create a brief synopsis of the topic from their combined memory. Discussion follows and questions are clarified. This is the perfect opportunity to teach…That’s when the greatest learning happens!
