\"\"the teaching visits program<\/strong> is an important mechanism by which the cft promotes collaborative inquiry and reflection. specifically, the teaching visits program provides case-based opportunities for vanderbilt teachers to consider choices they have when constructing their classes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

a small group of visitors observes a host\u2019s class on a selected day and then engages in an hour of conversation about the instructor\u2019s strategies. these visits provide fodder for the critical reflection so essential to the ongoing process of improving teaching, and thus are among our most valuable and helpful events. they are great opportunities for vanderbilt teachers to observe directly and then discuss<\/a> various forms of teaching across the disciplines, building collegiality and expertise around inquiries into teaching and learning.<\/p>\n

we offer two types of teaching visits:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. teaching visits for faculty<\/span><\/strong>, in which instructors open their classes to a small group of their colleagues on a selected day, and<\/li>\n
  2. teaching visits for cict participants<\/span><\/strong>, in which instructors open their classes to a small group of graduate students and post-docs who are completing the cft\u2019s certificate in college teaching<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    if you are interested in hosting a teaching visit or have any other questions about the program, please contact the cft\u2019s cynthia brame<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    bsci 210: principles of genetics<\/h4>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    kathy friedman takes a highly interactive approach to teaching genetics, and has always found review sessions to be the best learning experiences for her students. this semester, she is trying to extend the review session model by \u201cflipping\u201d some of her genetics lectures. collaborating with bold fellow tessy sebastian, kathy has developed videos, quizzes, and practice problems that introduce students to basic concepts before coming to class, allowing them to spend class time focused on more advanced applications of the concepts. this teaching visit will provide an opportunity to discuss how kathy and tessy prepared the online materials as well as the students\u2019 and instructor\u2019s response to the flipped class experience.<\/p>\n

    law 735: evidence<\/h4>\n

    edward cheng’s research focuses on scientific and expert evidence, and the interaction between law and statistics. law 735: evidence is a comprehensive survey of the federal rules of evidence, the rules that regulate the flow of information to juries in the vast majority of trial courts. professor cheng uses a variety of teaching methods, including legal education\u2019s signature pedagogy, the socratic method, as well as lectures, discussion, role-playing, and case studies. cheng varies his methods from class to class to keep the content\u2014typically thought to be somewhat dry\u2014fresh and lively and, more importantly, to help students see and understand how the rules of evidence are applied as real-time weapons used to craft arguments in court.<\/p>\n
