Questions for the panel … What resources are available to me at Penn State to ensure that I’m providing high quality instruction, and where are they located? How does Penn State’s multi-campus structure and 2+2 model impact the students and how might I approach teaching and advising? Penn State is well known for its World Campus and I’ve never taught an online course. Help! What is the role of faculty in advising at Penn State? What resources are available to me? I know my teaching will be a component of annual reviews as well as my dossier for promotion and tenure. How is teaching evaluated here? What advice do you have for someone who is new to teaching at Penn State?

Questions from you …

One last question for our panel … If the faculty here today were to leave remembering only one thing about your unit, what would you want that to be?
