video and discussion workshop intend ed to help professors improve their teaching skills was held at the university center thursday dina wills faculty develop mental coordinator and assistant professor of journalism and com munication was the facilitator of the workshop about integrating different kinds of teaching and learning styles wills said the concepts pre sented in the workshop are

there are students with different learning styles out there wills said wills spoke about the different teaching styles that can be used to accomodate the students under different circumstances they included the expert delegator formal authority facilitator and personal models it is necessary to blend some of these styles to reach the stu dents wills said the video that wills showed presented two clips containing examples of the teaching styles that can be employed in different kinds of classroom situations one example was a clip from a large physics class the professor see concert page 8 see
