In honor of Twosday (2-22-22), I thought I would launch my new periodic topic: Teaching in Six Words. (And no, there’s no clear connection – but it seemed like a good “hook”!)
We have remarkably creative, clever, committed faculty whom I would like to celebrate. So I’ve invited faculty to craft a six word vision of teaching and submit it via this form. Acknowledgements to Larry Smith who created the concept of a Six Word Memoir.
Here are a few for you to ponder. Feel free to submit your own, or, if you’ve already submitted one, to submit again and again.
