Next Teaching and Advising Lunch for Faculty April 10
Advising will be discussed at the next Faculty Lunch on Friday, April 10, at noon in the Mullins & Faerber Rooms of the Lewis-Sebring Dining Commons. What would make advising more rewarding for faculty and students? Should faculty be evaluated as advisors when they stand for tenure? Would advising be strengthened if advisor and advisee focused specifically on identifying learning goals so that advising could be about more than course selection? We will discuss an experiment a small group of faculty has undertaken on advising first year students around learning goals. We will also discuss different models of advising at other institutions and ask how we might rethink our own advising system. Contact Amrita Basu with questions and suggestions.
