Face-to-face workshop
- July 8 - 12, 2007 at Hamilton College, Clinton, NY
Online workshop
- July 30 - August 3, 2007 (distance learning format)
Finding 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 either a four-day, face-to-face workshop or a four-day, online workshop through which you will make significant progress toward designing or re-designing an effective and innovative undergraduate course in the geosciences. Application deadline for both workshops is April 19, 2007.
Former workshop participants say:
-
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.
Conveners:
- Barbara Tewksbury (Hamilton College)
- Charlotte Mehrtens (University of Vermont)
