Case Studies Case studies address pedagogical issues, such as classroom authority, student and teacher expectations, cultural diversity, and academic dishonesty. FDP case studies are based on experiences constructed by SCS teachers, students, and administrators. Monthly brown bag lunches provide an opportunity for faculty, and sometimes, advisors, to share questions and concerns, as well as successes and new ideas, related to teaching adult students. This is an excellent opportunity to create collegial connections and to seek insight from your fellow teachers into many different kinds of classroom issues. Instructional Consultation Consultation on any aspect of teaching is available from Gina Logan, Faculty Development Director.
All consultations are strictly confidential.
You are also invited to take advantage of Northwestern's Searle Center for Teaching Excellence. Gina Logan can acquaint you with the resources available at the Searle Center, and can arrange to have your class videotaped for your own private observation or with a confidential feedback session. Information Resources Information Resources include books, pamphlets, articles and videotapes which cover all areas of university teaching. Whether you need ideas for a single class or a plan for improving your lectures, discussions or classroom rapport, there are references that you will find useful. The FDP listserv provides an opportunity for online communication among SCS teachers.
