‌The art and science of teaching: delivering knowledge while nurturing critical reasoning.

This two-week workshop explores emerging teaching methodologies in Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences. It aims to train Teaching Assistants and Lecturers on developing strategies to better deliver knowledge to passive audience, how to trigger and engage participation in an online tutorial setting as well as nurture critical reasoning and provide feedback while promoting self-confidence. This workshop addresses instructional concerns with Linear Algebra lectures and hands-on coding labs. The focus lays primarily on best practices when teaching Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. This workshop will be led by Dr. Alexandra A. Gomes, Dr. Malek Smaoui, and Saudi Graduate Recruitment and Development office.

Hear from Our 2021 Participants

“Many thanks for the great time that we spent in the valuable courses, enjoyable tour to labs and facilities , great networking gathering in KAUST environment via this event" 1st AMCS Workshop for Higher Education Instructors 2021".

 

“KAUST was built to be a local, regional, and a global hub for scientific advancement, and this type of workshops demonstrate how KAUST lives up to its role by transferring the knowledge and best practice to the future leading local academics. I also appreciated having the opportunity to build excellent connections with the faculty at KAUST and faculty from all over the country.”

 

 

“I recommend this Workshop for new university instructors and lecturers. I have been exposed to different techniques from both organizers and participants.”

 

"Talking about the AMCS Workshop is not like attending it. Being at KAUST and attending lectures inside the Campus is far away than any word that would describe it. It was a very beautiful feeling full of enthusiasm. I wanted to hold the time and stay there and try to get benefit from everything around you as much as possible."
