Synthesizing the Research for Timely Teaching GuidanceGraduate Students in EDL 6302: Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

Teaching effectiveness is a lively area of research, with all the nuances and complexities of other disciplines. Faculty strive to be successful teachers but often lack the time or training to explore and interpret the scholarship that can positively impact their teaching. Students in the graduate seminar on teaching and learning in higher education have synthesized literature on core questions for college teaching and produced brief, non-technical, open access “teaching guides.” Participants will hear and discuss their work ranging from how to write a syllabus, to what to do on the first day of class, to effective lectures and discussions, and more.
