What your colleagues took home:

“I liked the different presentation styles we did and evaluated. Provides inspiration for future tutorials.”

“Use different forms of presentations during one class, depending on the goal of your lesson and become aware of the physical set up.”

“I moved all the tables around before class today because students were presenting their research. It was such a hit! They enjoyed the audience being up closer and everyone stayed off their phones without the desks to hide behind. I really enjoyed your nonverbal workshop, where I got this idea.”
