Do you ever feel like you are working harder than your students?
Please come to the Teaching and Creativity Center’s Spring Semester Kick-off for Adjunct Faculty: “Too Much Teaching, Not Enough Learning”*
January 19, 2017
5 – 7 pm
Warshof Conference Center, Flynn Campus Center (Monroe A and B)
Dinner begins at 5 pm and the program begins at 5:15 pm
Our program will begin with information from cognitive psychology about memory and how the brain learns. We’ll learn more about the article that inspired the title of this workshop to root our learning within our disciplines. Then, participants will have the opportunity to research a question with the support of “consultants” from around the college. Please plan to bring something from your classes where you feel like you are doing more work than the students.
In order to help us plan, we are asking you to identify an area where you would like to increase your students’ work/learning. When you RSVP, please identify one focus area from the categories below.
Focus on Lectures/Powerpoint:
“I explained the material as clearly as I could in my lecture, but my students still didn’t do well on the test.”
Focus on Review/Study Guide/Test Preparation:
“I gave them a very detailed study guide, but my students still didn’t do well on the test.”
Focus on Written Feedback on Papers or Exams/Tests:
“I provided very clear feedback on their papers/exams, but my students didn’t pay attention to my notes.”
Please RSVP by January 6.
