Thinking About Teaching and Advising

Modeled after the popular Speaking of Scholarship Series, these presentations and conversations are designed to share what we are learning about teaching and advising. Sessions are scheduled on Thursdays from 11:50-1:20, and involve presentations followed by informal conversations about the issues raised by these experiences. The intent is to increase awareness of teaching innovations on campus and learn from each other’s experiences. A light lunch is served. The remaining sessions this fall will include:

December 1, Foss 175 – Velma Lashbrook, "Lessons Learned from Using Team-Based Learning in a Research Methods Course"

If you plan to attend any of these sessions, please rsvp to Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu), so we can have adequate food and handouts.
