They contribute to the Center through quarterly Fellows Seminars on teaching, through brown-bag workshops and discussions, and by contributing articles to the newsletter. Go here for the names of current Center Fellows. The Center offers several services to help individuals collect and analyze thorough and systematic information about their teaching. Faculty members can arrange for the Center to videotape a class. This discreet and confidential service allows individuals to gain an enlightening new perspective on their classroom practices.
Faculty members have complete control over the videotape.
Consultation from the Center is available. Both the videotaping and SGA process can provide a basis for individual consultation between a faculty member and someone from the Center. Faculty members may seek assistance with a wide variety of teaching issues, request recommendations of teaching literature, or arrange for someone from the Center to observe a class. This new service provides faculty members with specially-trained students who will attend class and provide confidential, candid, and constructive feedback from the student perspective. The Center has developed guidelines to help faculty members make systematic analyses of particular courses through a series of questions accomplished teachers often raise in thinking about a course.
