Spring 2012 Noontime Conversations
Noontime Conversation: Beyond SETs: Brainstorming the Possibilities
Wednesday, March 21, 2012: 12:00 – 1:30 p.m.
(MGC 203/205)
Student Evaluations of Teaching (SETs) are only one measure of faculty accomplishment in creating and delivering quality instruction. At this Noontime Conversation we will hear from three AU faculty members - Mary Lee Clark (WCL), Kimberly Cowell-Meyers (SPA) and Declan Fahy (SOC) - about strategies faculty are currently using, such as peer review, in-class observations, and faculty mentoring.
