Seminars are facilitated by one individual or a panel of faculty members.  The seminar may include paper presentations, demonstrations, or strategies for faculty development including such topics as faculty mentoring, use of small groups, team teaching, or cooperative learning.

 

Brown Bag Lunch/Breakfast Meetings

These are small group discussions/conversations on selected topics (i.e. increasing participation, revising syllabi, classroom management, etc.) The purpose of each small forum is to encourage instructors to discuss specific teaching problems, strategies for finding solutions, and/or methods of enhancing instructor-student performance and interaction within and beyond the classroom.
