Some Pedagogical Reflections

It is always more challenging, and a little nerve-wracking, to deliver an instructional unit someone else has pulled together, even when there has been significant discussion amongst, and input from, the instructional team. This was particularly so for the Insite unit because we were using some “unconventional” texts and teaching methodologies. The material under discussion was both intellectually and personally challenging for many, and it was our first time delivering it. I offer some reflections as a member of the teaching team on the ways in which these particular challenges together produced a rich and exciting unit to teach, and if the student feedback is any indication, provided a significant learning experience.
