FACETS Quotes - What participants have to say about the program

 

Seminars presented information I had previously never been exposed to, and initiated a whole new way of thinking about how I design my courses.

                                       Karyn Biasca, Associate Professor, Paper Science

 

Every meeting I came away with a practical piece of information of how to do things better in my courses . . .

Eric Anderson Professor – Wildlife Ecology, ‘04 recipient of the University of Wisconsin Regents’ Excellence in Teaching Award, and UWSP Teaching Excellence Awardee

 

Seldom have I seen a program that encourages successful learning to such a degree: certainly FACETS invigorates the teacher and the classroom.

Diane Bywater, Professor, Art and Design, UWSP Teaching Excellence, and Scholar Awardee, and UW-System Scholar 

 

The lessons I learned at the FACETS seminars should be brought to a wider audience, where scholarly educators can reflect on their meaning and impact on student learning.

Steve Wright, Professor, Chemistry, FIPSE Scholar and UWSP Teaching Excellence Awardee

 

The FACETS program is especially effective as it gives me the opportunity to interact with faculty mentors and colleagues both within and without of my discipline  . . . and builds collegial relationships between teacher-scholars who would not ordinarily have a forum in which to engage in dialogues about student learning.

Holly Hassel, Assistant Professor, English, ’04 UW System Teaching Fellow
