Description
Keeping track of research projects during the term while teaching speaking- and writing-intensive courses may seem nigh unto impossible, but... In this roundtable discussion, FYS and SYS faculty share some of the strategies they have used to get both scholarly and pedagogical value from their courses. Ideas range from targeted selection of topics and readings for courses, to designing assignments to promote collaboration with faculty and undergraduate research, to piloting early research results for valuable student feedback. Faculty are encouraged to bring ideas, plans and goals to share with the group.
