Our Services
Consultations
The Faculty Development Center offers confidential, one-on-one, or group consultations on teaching and research to all instructors and faculty across the university. Through these consultations, we aim to support EMU faculty advances in their teaching, scholarship, and professional development goals.
Mid-Term Student Feedback Sessions
We offer help to all EMU faculty and lecturers with mid-term student feedback sessions. Through these sessions, we aim to help instructors gather input from their students while they still have time to implement change during the semester.
In-Office Resources
We pride ourselves on being able to provide EMU faculty and lecturers with the space and resources to support their career and academic goals. We invite you to make space of our Collaboratory (suitable for hybrid meetings), computer lab, and office space all located in Room 109 in Halle Library.
Syllabus Support
We are pleased to present this web page on effective syllabus construction. This collection of resources is broad, covering but not limited to: the basics of building a syllabus, creating an inclusive classroom through this document, promoting engagement, and sharing with you what students look for in a course syllabus.
Teaching Blog
Bruce K. Nelson Faculty Development Center
The Teaching Blog aims to share, with the campus community and beyond, a series of posts focusing on a wide range of teaching issues. This may focus on pedagogical approaches, issues in addressing the challenges that our students face, sharing resources available on campus, or beyond. We intend for this blog to serve as a cornerstone for anything and everything that may be of use to students or faculty. Living in a siloed universe, as most of us do, we have much to learn from others with whom we might not often discuss the challenges and opportunities around teaching and learning.
