Tue. 9/10, 2:30pm. TLC Faculty Mentoring Information Session

This virtual session, co-hosted by Karleen West and Alexis Clifton, will provide information for those planning to serve as a faculty mentor this year. We will specifically describe the experiences and expectations for TLC Faculty Mentors, who are outside the home department and the evaluation process for their mentees.

This session will also be useful if you are serving as a faculty mentor in any other capacity on campus, such as within your own department, or are interested in becoming a mentor sometime in the future.

Fri. 9/6, 12:30pm. TLC Speaker: Avan Jassawalla, "Organizing and Managing Team Projects"

Prof. Jassawalla, Management professor in the School of Business, will share her experience, research, and teaching strategies for organizing and managing classroom team projects. This will include discussion on how instructors can help prevent issues such as social loafing (team member slacking off) and groupthink (avoiding constructive conflict) and improve team effectiveness through use of early team building and a peer evaluation system. Prof. Jassawalla's research is aimed at helping students develop their collaboration and teamwork competencies.

Join us for this virtual presentation and conversation about how team projects can be more productive and engaging in your own classroom applications.

Slides from this presentation can be accessed here. Additional supporting materials, including prompts for building a Team Charter and a Peer Evaluation form, can be requested from Dr. Jassawalla. Please reach out to her with any questions: jassawal@geneseo.edu
