As mentioned before the break, I’d like to add a category to the blog that archives teaching tips from our group. This could be a sample assignment, rubric or exercise that worked well, a document you created that clarifies a teaching principle, or an approach you take that you believe others can follow that increases efficiency or facilitates student learning.

Each submission will be posted separately, with a copyright notice, and categorized under “Teaching Tips,” for ease of reference. I’ll start the ball rolling with two of my own—a new idea and an old one.

Additionally, if you’re comfortable sending me any publication (interpreted loosely) that you don’t mind being included on the ProCUPE publication page, then please email the file or link. Michael, Catherine, Rob and John have already allowed access to their great material.

In the hope it will help coax any reluctant members to send something, I’ll post an old article from my pre-Ryerson days. Though there is some discussion of rhetoric, I have to confess the subject appeals to a rather small audience and is best tackled when battling insomnia.

I trust you all had time to decompress. My apologies for breaking into that calm. However, I assume if I didn’t ask for material before the oncoming work storm, we’d have to wait another four months….
