Students will examine current research and theories on learning and memory and apply this knowledge to practical teaching and learning contexts. Through class discussions, readings, and assignments, students will understand the principles and practices that underlie effective learning and teaching and explore the cognitive and neural processes involved in learning and the design of effective educational practices.
