The Center for Faculty Enrichment is continuing our Fridays (and, two Thursdays) @ CAFE this semester. The focus of these interactive sessions is on teaching and learning. Our goals are simple– to provide an opportunity for instructors to explore a variety of teaching and learning practices and to share their ideas with colleagues. All sessions are from 3:00-4: 30 pm. We will provide snacks and drinks.
Up FIRST…
Teaching Information Literacy: Locating and Evaluating Sources

In this session, we will explore methods for teaching students to locate and evaluate information from multiple disciplines. Whether you need help incorporating information literacy into a course you already teach, or for a Perspectives – level proposal, this session may be for you. Bring your syllabus and we will talk about the best ways to incorporate information literacy with your course goals.
