Class Visits
The director will visit a class to observe a requesting faculty member’s teaching. After observing the class, the director will meet with the faculty member to discuss potential changes and improvements.

The Teaching Center can also videotape a class when requested by the faculty member. The director will review the tape, then replay and discuss the tape with the faculty member during a pre-arranged appointment.
