 * //Workshop Themes//**

Addressing Learning Differences/Needs, Student Engagement
//**Abstract**// Students in General Education courses are often less interested and more reluctant to engage in class activities compared to students in courses specific to their major. In this presentation, we will demonstrate examples of effective, low-cost activities designed to engage these types of students in authentic disciplinary practices. Examples will be drawn from physics and biology with discussions of how similar practices could be applied in other disciplines.
