If you identify elements of your teaching that you think have potential for improvement, our staff will be happy to work with you or suggest further resources. Judgments of content experts Only someone who truly knows and understands the content of your course is in a good position to judge some elements of the course. These judgments can cover such issues as the breadth of your coverage, the depth with which you look at particular topics, and the sequence with which you address them. The most probable source of expertise is likely to be in your own department. Another option is to ask for judgments from colleagues at other institutions.
Many disciplines have organizations devoted entirely to the teaching of that discipline.
These organizations provide listservs, conferences and journals to support discussions of teaching issues in the discipline. One quick way to get pedagogical information about content is to search the increasing number of course syllabi posted on the World Wide Web. Once you have found these syllabi, you have also found colleagues with whom to consult.
