Transforming Teaching to Generate Student Success
Services Offered
Consultation Services
The Office of Faculty provides online training assistance for faculty staff and students.
Talk Review and Feedback Consolation- If you are presenting at a conference or leading a presentation for your colleagues, make sure you and your slides are ready before you present! We provide a reviewer to observe you while you present a "dry run" in a low-stress environment. The reviewer will provide feedback on slide design and presentation style.
Teaching Observation and Feedback- An outside observer can see things you may not know and has no ulterior motive in providing feedback other than to help you. An educational specialist can sit in on your class, PBL, or other teaching session and meet with you privately to provide feedback. The Office of Faculty.
