July 21-25, 2004
Central Michigan University
Application Deadline: March 17, 2004Finding the time, energy, and inspiration to develop a new course or to re-design an existing course is a challenge for faculty. Join us for a four-day workshop in a stimulating and resource-rich environment where you will make significant progress toward designing or re-designing an effective and innovative undergraduate course in the geosciences.
The course design workshop pushed me into new territory for teaching and learning, and I have reconstructed for the better my teaching for all my classes.
Before I attended the workshop I considered myself an effective teacher. But I had the focus all wrong. Now I see how effectively my students can learn.
Deadline for application is March 17, 2004.
Conveners:
- Barbara Tewksbury (Hamilton College)
- Heather Macdonald (College of William and Mary)
This workshop is part of the program On the Cutting Edge: Workshops for Geoscience Faculty, supported by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers and DLESE with funding provided by a grant from the National Science Foundation-Division of Undergraduate Education (more info) .
