Overview

The Consultation service is intended to provide all faculty with a process by which they can examine, reflect upon or assess their teaching. We consult with faculty from a variety of disciplines to help them develop strategies that are effective in teaching students to be successful in their courses.

Consultations are free, confidential and can include discussion on -

• Innovative Teaching Strategies
  
• Setting up experiential and community-based projects
• Designing group work and cooperative learning
• Incorporating instructional technology
• 'Flipping the Classroom' (see our recent workshop on this topic
• Student Evaluations
• Interpreting ratings and comments
• Using student feedback to enhance your teaching
• Conducting mid-semester student feedback
• Day-to-Day Concerns
• Creating an inclusive classroom
• Crafting more effective tests and assignments
• Dealing with large classes
• Creating engaging classroom discussions
• Online Teaching
• Course navigation and technical concerns
• Effective course design
• Improving student engagement within online classes
• Maximizing the potential of online learning

Our focus is on improvement and not on evaluation of instructors for personnel decisions. We do not conduct evaluations of instructors.
