DOLCE on student engagement and the multi-phase syllabus
Dear Faculty Colleagues,
Happy springtime! Please join us on Friday, April 5th for our first DOLCE of the spring quarter, this one featuring talks by Victoria Cross from Psychology and Rob Furrow from Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology.
Tor Cross will speak on “Encouraging and rewarding attendance and engagement without coercion.” Those who attend will be rewarded by a witty and substantive talk by Tor Cross, an Associate Professor of Teaching Psychology. She primarily teaches large enrollment courses on research methods and data visualization. Her research interests are instructional policies and classroom activities that promote student engagement and agency.
Rob Furrow will speak on “Student Engagement and the Multi-Phase Syllabus.” Furrow is a biology educator focused on evidence-based, inclusive practices that help his undergraduates build quantitative skills. He also helps students develop critical thinking, self-efficacy, and persistence through course-based undergraduate research, project-based learning, writing, and rubric-based peer evaluation.
Please register now so you can join us Friday April 5th at noon for the presentations and discussion. If you are unable to join us live on Zoom, please visit The Wheel in the subsequent week to watch the recording.
See you on April 5th!
Dr. Andy Jones
