Making Scholarly Teaching Visible
November 4, 2016One of the things I enjoy most about my new role is listening to faculty across campus reflect on what they are trying in their classrooms and why. I’m continually struck by how much creativity and critical reflection there is in our teaching, and yet we don’t always do a good job of communicating this important work to each other or to the community of peers beyond Carleton. LTC lunches highlight only a small fraction of the innovative approaches we are using in our classrooms or the challenges we are tackling.
The Student Research Celebration
November 9, 2015On October 23rd we held the student research celebration in the Weitz commons. As always, this is a large event where students show posters that display work that they have done. Much of the work is from projects of the previous summer. The science and social science departments are always strongly represented, but in recent years there have been more projects that show work from the humanities. Both on campus, as well as working abroad or in research groups at large universities, our students are incredibly active and productive. It is fun to see the well-deserved pride that they feel in their accomplishments. It also speaks well for our teaching climate to see how much students have gained from these experiences that are guided by faculty mentors. Click here, for a link to the research booklet.
