Faculty Teaching Forum: Strategies to Promote a Deep Approach to Reading
It is a recurring complaint among faculty that students do not complete their assigned readings or that they read them superficially.
Rick Muthiah (Center for Teaching and Learning) will lead a discussion about effective methods for using readings in your classes. Participants can get a head start on the conversation by reading a recent “Tomorrow’s Professor†posting and a chapter from Tools for Teaching (the section on motivating students to do the reading).
The session will be held from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, March 19, in Hoover 104 (Hoover Hatfield Library). To reserve a lunch, e-mail Jere Witherspoon (jwithers@georgefox.edu) by 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17. Everyone is welcome to attend the session, whether bringing a lunch or reserving a lunch. Please have your lunch ready so we can begin the conversation at noon.
All faculty — full time, part time, and adjunct — are invited to attend Faculty Teaching Forums (FTFs). Video podcasts of FTFs will be available at the “Events and Resources†link on the Center for Teaching and Learning website.
