Other forthcoming events
Talking about teaching seminars
These seminars are a forum for discussion and debate on a wide range of topics and issues facing lecturers in Higher Education, such as:
-
meeting the diverse needs of students
-
re-designing the curriculum
integrating teaching and research -
understanding the student experience
-
the working lives of academics
working within and across subjects
'Talking about Teaching' seminars are led by colleagues from within the university or by invited external speakers. The format varies, from sharing work-in-progress to philosophical debate. We hope the style will always be informal, supportive, thought-provoking and informed by research - a space where we can address key issues and develop our academic practice.
The seminars are usually held, from 1pm-3pm, in Room 228 Mithras House (Moulsecoomb), dates for 2009:
Friday 20th March - Room 228 Mithras House 1.00 - 3.00.
Friday 1st May (Mithras G6) - Topic to be announced
