teaching at a primarily undergraduate institution
thursday september 27, 1-2pm central
where do you want to teach? what balance do you want between teaching and research? what is important to you regarding course load, student contact, research support, department size, or tenure requirements? teaching at a primarily undergraduate research institution is very different from teaching at a large research university. join the discussion as three faculty talk about their experiences teaching at primarily undergraduate institutions.
join the discussion, hear what others have to say, and share your insights!
facilitated by:
tara davis, assistant professor, department of mathematics, hawai’i pacific university
alysa remsburg, associate professor, department of ecology, unity college
heather whitney, assistant professor, department of physics, wheaton college
