Teaching Tools 2011-2012:

  

Reading and Understanding Primary Texts

Dr. Sandra Keating, Theology
Thursday, April 19  2:30 – 3:30
 
Beyond the task of getting students to read is the challenge to facilitate their understanding of primary texts. We will consider ways to help students master new vocabulary, understand different writing styles, and interpret major concepts.
 
 

Video as a Teaching Tool

Dr. Mark Hyde, Political Science
Monday, April 23  12:00-1:00
 
Every serious athletic team records its games and constructively analyzes its performance; college faculty can do the same. Videotaping one or more of your classes is a unique way to evaluate your teaching. It provides an informative and useful perspective on the interaction between you and your students.
