Dave Stachowiak and Bonni Stachowiak talk about rethinking assessment and other reflections on the Lilly Conference on episode 142 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Curiosity is one of our most deeply rooted mechanisms by which we learn.

These experiences give people a different view of themselves.

We don’t give students opportunities to experience and reflect on how the curriculum is part of them and how they are affecting it.
