Events for Faculty DevelopmentMonday October 6, 2008"Checking-In" with Doctoral Students 9:00am-10:30am on the 9th floor of One Silber Way (formerly One Sherborn Street) in the Metcalf Trustees Ballroom Open to any doctoral students who are teaching this semester.
"Checking-In" with New Faculty
We would like to keep in touch and support your success in the classroom. To that end, we hope you can participate in these "checking-in" sessions on Monday, October 6. These sessions will be facilitated by Professor Janelle Heineke, faculty director of the BU Center for Excellence in Teaching, and will focus on issues/challenges you've faced in the classroom and general teaching effectiveness. In preparation for these sessions, it might be useful for you to get some midsemester feedback from your students. Faculty have been using the Start-Stop-Continue format in SMG and find it very helpful. Ask your students to write down what they'd like you to start doing, what they'd like you to stop doing, and what they'd like you to continue doing. If you collect the feedback the week before the session, Janelle can spend some time on how to debrief on what you learned with your class and also how to make adjustments in your teaching (if adjusting makes sense). Tuesday October 7, 2008 The Scientific Computing and Visualization group at Boston University is hosting two events to introduce faculty to their computational and visualization facilities OPEN HOUSE: 4:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. - drop in anytime!
