|
Dr. Charles Petranek, professor emeritus of sociology, will present the 2006-07 H. Lee Cooper Teaching Award Lecture at 1 p.m. Wednesday, November 15, in Forum I. The title of his lecture is “The Classroom: Why Go? Why Bother?” He will examine various teaching and learning styles, and reveal the results of his student poll about the classroom. Petranek was presented with the award at the fall 2006 Faculty and Administrative Staff Meeting. It includes a generous stipend, a plaque, and additional faculty development support. The event is free and open to the public. A reception will follow. Focusing exclusively on teaching, the Cooper Award honors a USI faculty member whose work in University Core Curriculum courses has been especially creative and successful in furthering UCC goals. The award is named in honor of H. Lee Cooper, a long-time supporter of USI. |
