FACULTY FORUM SLATE SET


by Anne Dolan

Teaching to large classes, team teaching and evaluating 
student evaluations of faculty are some of the topics that 
will be addressed this year in the third edition of the 
Faculty Forum series, sponsored by the Center for Teaching 
Excellence.

The series offers faculty and their guests an opportunity to 
meet colleagues from all corners of the campus, share dinner 
and discuss teaching-related topics.

As in the past, the program begins each month with a cash bar 
at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 6 p.m. and discussion at 
approximately 6:45 p.m. Participants who can't attend the 
dinner are welcome to come for the discussion. Dinner is $10 
per person, payable at the door. Participants are asked to 
contact Jane Henning (4-2906 or njhenni@iastate.edu) by the 
Friday preceding each month's Monday forum.

Jim Noxon, professor of veterinary clinical sciences, and 
Larry Genalo, associate professor of engineering fundamentals 
and multidisciplinary design, will initiate a discussion on 
team teaching at the first Faculty Forum Monday, Sept. 18, in 
the Memorial Union Campanile Room.

Following are the dates and topics of other forums this year.
