A growing number of courses are being taught in the computer-rich classrooms of the Student Success Center (SSC).  Many of these courses were designed using the principles of student-centered, active-learning pedagogy.   Faculty teaching these courses may be convinced that they promote student engagement, but how do students experience them?  How do the courses' undergraduate Learning Assistants understand the challenges and rewards of learning in digital classrooms?  

The purpose of this roundtable is to discuss student perspectives on active-learning courses taught in the Student Success Center.  Diverse faculty and Learning Assistants will briefly share what they know about student perspectives on these courses.   Their presentations will be followed by a generous period of questions and answers.  The roundtable should be of interest to faculty currently teaching in the SSC, as well as faculty considering redesigning their course(s) to take advantage of the classrooms in the SSC.
