INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHODS SUBGROUP January 11, 1999 TO: ALL FACULTY Subject: Request from the Innovative Teaching Methods Subgroup of the Undergraduate Education Advisory Committee Most undergraduate courses at UCSD are taught using the traditional lecture format. Yet, this may not be the best or most effective teaching method for many courses. The Senior Vice Chancellor-Academic Affairs has convened a working group to explore alternative approaches to undergraduate teaching. We know that a number of faculty have developed new and innovative approaches to teaching undergraduates. We would like you to share your most successful techniques with us. If you have found something that works, please provide us with a brief description of the method and the kind of class(es) with which it is most effective. Please direct responses to any of the subgroup members listed below. Thank you for your help. INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHODS SUBGROUP John M.
