Faculty inquiry Project:
Large Courses in the Sciences and Social Sciences
Interested in trying out new instructional approaches while getting feedback from your
peers? Want to connect with faculty colleagues from across campus on approaches to
teaching large science and social science courses? Join this faculty inquiry project to explore
challenges and innovations related to large courses. Details of topics covered will be
determined by the group but could include using more active learning, providing more
effective assignments, and grading in novel ways.
Inquiry projects are designed for faculty members who want to address a professional topic
in a collective and scholarly way. They provide a collegial setting in which faculty members
from across disciplines learn from one another.
Application due date: Wednesday, February 17, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. Submit applications to
the Faculty Development Office; 303 Todd Bldg., or by email to amy.kinch@umontana.edu.
