Energetic, engaging, innovative – they’re all attributes that her students and colleagues typically cite when they talk about Sanseverino’s teaching style. She goes above and beyond to connect with students – even in large classes of 200 – reaching out to them even before the first day of class. Sanseverino is also known for her groundbreaking use of instructional technology to enhance the learning process. She’s a proponent of the use of “iClickers” – hand-held devices that students use to provide instant responses to questions during lectures.
