TEACHING CONSULTATIONS

In my time as a Teaching Consultant for the Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning, I have observed sixteen Certificate I participants teach in a variety of classroom settings, from lecture to discussion, in a variety of departments: Pathobiology; Cognitive, Linguistic and Psychological Sciences; American Studies; Political Science; Biomedical Engineering; Sociology; and Biology-Community Health and Epidemiology.  Consultations are always undertaken in pairs, with one consultant from Humanities (myself) and the Sciences, an experience that has been valuable in learning to collaborate with colleagues from other disciplines.  Observing teaching in disciplines sometimes far removed from my own in terms of content and style has allowed me to critically evaluate structure, organization and effectiveness (sometimes surprisingly) well.  As such, these experiences have greatly improved my own teaching, as I have adopted successful techniques observed in others’ lectures.
