*** DATE FOR YOUR DIARY: 15th JANUARY *** Join us at Aston University on Wednesday 15th January 14:00-16:00, for our next BEES seminar where Yaprak Tavman (University of York) will be discussing lessons learned during the co-creation of an Economics Problem-Based Learning (PBL) with students. The application of PBL in Economics education is still relatively rare, so this talk promises to be super-interesting to anyone interested in active student-centred learning, both in Economics and beyond. We'll also have some talks from our Aston Business School colleagues! All are welcome to join us--we have refreshments for in-person attendees, or you can join remotely too!
