Critical thinking is a UD General Education Goal for all undergraduate students and a topic that is essential for an educated citizenry. In this workshop, attendees are encouraged to bring previous assessments to analyze how they ask questions that stimulate students’ critical thinking skills.

During the October event, Agnes Ly, assistant professor of psychological and brain based science, along with staff from UD's Center for Teaching and Assessment of Learning (CTAL), will contribute their teaching and assessment experience to this workshop. 

The next Teaching Learning Conversation (TLC) sponsored this fall by CTAL will focus on “Making sense of student evaluations of teaching,” from 4-4:45 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 15, in 315 ISE Lab. This conversation will focus on concrete ways that faculty can use student evaluations of teaching to improve.

All faculty members, postdocs and graduate students interested in teaching are encouraged to attend.  

Advance registration is requested for the Roundtable workshops so that there will be enough workshop materials and snacks. TLC sessions do not require pre-registering. 

Future sessions, with links to register, can be found on the Center for Teaching and Assessment of Learning calendar. 

The First Friday roundtables are designed and sponsored through a collaboration of Academic Technology Services, the Institute for Transforming Undergraduate Education and the Center for Teaching and Assessment of Learning.
