U-CLaSS Chat: "From Office Hours to Student Hours"

Image
U-CLaSS chats bring students and faculty together to talk about shared challenges and opportunities in teaching and learning. Chats are designed to allow students to share their experiences and perspectives with faculty. Faculty play a listening role, hearing from students about what works and doesn't work both inside the classroom and beyond.  This U-CLaSS chat will focus on reconceiving traditional office hours as "student hours"-- as a time set aside for students. Faculty will be on hand looking for student input on how to make that time more effective. When should student hours be held? What places on campus are most inviting for student hours? What should the format be? What do students hope to gain from student hours? Come share your opinion and eat free pizza!  When: Friday, March 4, 1:00-2:15  Where: Chadbourne Main Lounge U-CLaSS is an initiative of the UW Teaching Academy and co-sponsored by Chadbourne Residential College .
