I am currently working on ways to create new non-major science courses for CLAS which try to expose students to the way science is really done instead of the usual survey course. I am also a firm believer in the role of research in students' educational experience. I believe that these perspectives are important as the college considers how to deliver its educational mandate. These components should integrate to provide balance for the student, and, ultimately, the graduate. Balance is achieved through diverse ideas, ranging from rigorous analytical thought through effective communication and alternative models of the world.
Balance mandates time to think and explore.
The appropriate objectives of a liberal arts institution and its faculty are balance and education so effective, it startles. Events Copyright 2000. The University of Iowa, College of Liberal Arts. All rights reserved.
