This Faculty Teaching Forum will focus on creating a tool for evaluating your own classes at mid-term. You get to put together, using ideas from your colleagues, a tool that fits the course or courses you teach. You can even add “smiles often” to the criteria!! J Just kidding…. We will share several examples of mid-course evaluations other faculty use. Bring your own and bring your ideas. Tom Johnson will lead the discussion.

This session examines several roots of professors’ authority. The session assumes that expertise and a contract at Fox are necessary but not sufficient, and then focuses on how student goodwill and consent interact with teacher chutzpah (self-authorization), concluding that both these sources of authority are also necessary for sustained classroom work. Participants will consider briefly whether our students’ epistemology is shifting because of the internet. It also considers some of the dangers present of the relational classroom.

Sometimes a class doesn’t go as intended. Even with the best of learning objectives, a class may not go as well as anticipated. It may be time to switch gears, even in the middle of the semester. The changes may be minor or maybe major, but whatever degree of change is necessary it is important to acknowledge these and move forward. Barram will discuss how to do this effectively.
