Teaching Activities of Mark S. Klima

Teaching and Learning Concepts:

• Provides an open door policy to keep communication flowing with students.

• Encourages working in small groups/teams.

• Leaves "tidbits" out of lecture material to encourage participation and attendance.

• Minimizes "notetaking" in class to excel student listening and thinking skills.
