Some pointers for discussion:

Q1. What are your experiences with either interdisciplinary teaching and/or team teaching? Have you had similar experiences as the authors, and if so what did you do to improve your course?

Q2. What strategies/steps need to be developed first by instructors to teach an interdisciplinary course?

Q3. Did you find the ‘lessons learnt’ provided by the authors useful? Why, why not, and how might this vary across interdisciplinary settings?
