Dine & Discover
2012-13 Series
Here's a great three-course combination: teaching topics that matter to you, lively interaction with peer and topic experts, and a free lunch to boot. From best practices for engaging your students in the learning process and better utilizing technology in the classroom, to evidence-based strategies for overcoming challenges in the classroom and beyond, Dine and Discover sessions are some of the most popular and practical professional development opportunities available to UofL faculty.
Interested in Learning About How to Design Student Learning Outcomes?
Due to the overwhelmingly positive response received last year, we are pleased to again offer a two-part session designed to help faculty consider how to create and employ student learning outcomes. Putting Together the Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) Puzzle meets on October 19 and January 25. Register for both sessions today!
Location, Parking and Registration
Sessions meet on Belknap Campus in the Ekstrom Library, Room 244, from noon-2 p.m. (unless otherwise noted). Lunch is provided and sessions are free to UofL faculty, but space is limited and preregistration is required. We can provide a parking pass if you park at the Speed Museum garage, located next to Ekstrom library.
