Teaching Resources

 Assessment and Evaluation: Do you want to know how your class is going? Do you want to know what changes to make to improve your teaching? Do you want to know how to make sense of your student evaluations? Does your department want to improve the student evaluation form? The assessment resources page will give you some ideas.

 Faculty Corner: Do you have a great way to do mid-term assessement? To get a classroom discussion going? To handle a difficult topic? The faculty corner is a place to post your thoughts, ideas, or resources related to teaching. E-mail me your original work at patty.dewinstanley@oberlin.edu and I will be happy to post it to the faculty corner.

 A study skills tutorial for your students. Have you ever been told by a student who was disappointed in his or her performance on your exam, "but I studied so hard"? If you have, you might want to take a look at this tutorial. It is written in what I hope is an informal and friendly manner. I've tried to be humorous (I hope that you and your students don't find it too corny). The target audience is first year students, or any students having trouble with their studies.

 Grading

 Learning Styles. This is a link to Solomon and Felder's learning-styles questionnaire. You may wish to use the questionnaire in your courses to give your students information about their particular learning styles. Also, the leaning-styles area contains a summary of the latest research on learning styles with references.

 Getting Started:

Planning your course and Setting Goals

Writing your Syllabus, and

Meeting your First Class.

Everything for the new or newer faculty member to get your course started. The information contained at the above links was presented in the New Faculty Workshop 8/23/01.
