Instructional Methods

Lecturing Effectively
Effective lecturing does more than just communicate information.
Discussions
Class discussions can motivate students while also helping them retain knowledge and develop effective problem-solving abilities.
Service Learning
At DePaul, we conceptualize service learning as a pedagogical model that intentionally integrates relevant and meaningful service with the community, academic learning, and civic engagement.
Internships
Internships integrate accredited academic coursework with periods of supervised, relevant experiences in the workplace. They not only provide students with an opportunity to practice and apply knowledge in a field of study but also provide a learning scaffold for real-world workplace issues.
Field Work
The following resources offer guidelines for faculty and tips for students in courses that include field experiences.
