During the 2008-2009 academic year, 25 Lincoln faculty members worked on special projects supported by faculty development grants.
Now that these projects have been completed, or are at least substantially underway, we have asked the grant recipients three questions, as part of an ongoing faculty conversation about teaching:
- What have you learned from your project about the principles and practices of good teaching that you would like to share with your colleagues?
- In what way(s) did this project help your students gain new knowledge or skills?
- In what way(s) has your project changed the way you teach?
To see the responses, just click "What I learned" after the project title. We hope you get much food for thought.
