"The seminar was the best and most productive time I've ever spent with academic colleagues discussing teaching and pedagogy. I suggest to any faculty who haven't taken this seminar, that it is the best investment you can make in your own teaching, regardless of how much or how little you have taught before."
 

James Luke

"Until now, I sort of thought that lecture was the way to teach college and that anything else was just 'touchy-feely' hokum.  I certainly have a new view on teaching.  I think my conversion' was due in large part to the way the class was conducted, in that you 'practiced what you preached."
