may meeting summary & info on june meeting

We met bright and early yesterday to discuss Parts 1 and 2 of "McKeachie's Teaching Tips". Overall we found it to be a practical guide with plenty of great ideas and inspirations for our own teaching. We had great discussions on the purpose and utility of lectures; the purpose of discussions; grading and assessment methods; and the honor code with regard to the threat of cheating.

For our June meeting, we decided to continue on with McKeachie's book and leave it open to individual choice on how much of it to read. We'll have plenty to discuss no matter what!

We'll be meeting on Friday, June 1 from 8:00-9:30am (location TBD). Happy reading!
