What is it about?

Teaching in large-enrollment psychology classes brings challenges and opportunities. In this paper, we describe some of the ways that we have implemented the APA Guidelines for the Undergraduate Psychology Major in large course contexts. We have included many assignment descriptions and resources that can be adapted.

Why is it important?

So many teaching tips work beautifully in groups of 40 but fall apart in larger groups. We all teach larger class sections and want to share some ideas and assignments that are effective in large groups and that develop scientific inquiry and critical thinking in students; teach communication, literacy, and technology skills; and provide opportunities for personal and professional development.

Perspectives

We really hope that others will adopt and adapt some of these ideas. We hope to hear from you about what works in your classes and how you have adapted these ideas.
