Teaching@IUPUI: Creating a Syllabus
Thursday, August 6, 2015 | Online - Adobe Connect | 11:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
Register » | Organizer: Terri Tarr and Presenters: James Gregory, Terri Tarr
A syllabus is often the first impression that students form of a course, and it serves both faculty and student as a guide to and contract for the semester. A well designed and personalized syllabus can help faculty set the proper tone while simultaneously helping them avoid having to repeatedly answer basic student questions about expectations, policies, and deadlines. By examining syllabi from various disciplines, this online mini-workshop will offer tips and considerations for effective syllabus design, show example syllabi, and include time for questions and discussion.

Associate Faculty Orientation and Teaching Forum
Monday, August 17, 2015 | University Library | 1 - 6 p.m.
Register » | Organizers: Doug Jerolimov, the Associate Faculty Coalition and Presenters: CTL Staff
To promote the professional development of associate faculty (part-time/adjunct), the Center for Teaching and Learning holds an annual Associate Faculty Teaching Forum at the beginning of fall semester. If you are a part-time faculty member, whether new or returning, you are invited to attend the Associate Faculty Teaching Forum, an event designed to support your teaching role at IUPUI. At this event, discuss with your peers teaching methodologies and classroom techniques, and new ways of using technology in the classroom and online. Forum tracks are designed to encourage discussion and the sharing of ideas between new and experienced instructors about teaching techniques and approaches.
The CTL is happy to announce we are expanding the Associate Faculty Teaching Forum to include a one-hour orientation for associate faculty. This orientation is intended to help new or fairly new associate faculty know where to go for information about teaching, students, and their role as an employee and faculty member of IUPUI. Included in presentations and handouts will be information on working with the registrar's office, Adaptive Educational Services, UITS, Faculty Affairs, and more. General information about parking, using your JagTag, reserving conference rooms on campus, plus much more, will also be provided. The orientation will begin at 1 p.m. in University Library.
An extended version of the orientation portion of this event will be offered again on Saturday, August 22 from 9:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. in Taylor Hall 2110. Registration and details for that event may be found here.
