EDCI 943 Principles of College Teaching
Spring 2012 Course Schedule
Office hours: I do not set office hours because of administrative responsibilities, but I am happy to schedule a specific appointment time to meet with you. Contacting me by telephone or e-mail is always an option, and you can talk with me after class. You are also welcome to stop by my office in 215 Fairchild Hall. You may want to call before coming ... just to make certain I will be there.
This is the planned course schedule. Changes will be announced ahead of time. Due dates are somewhat flexible with one exception -- you must sign and submit your Semester Project Contract by February 2.
