Many new instructors fear that teaching undergraduates, especially in introductory level courses, will hinder rather than support their own research. The expert teachers/researchers speaking on today's panels will address the very questions college instructors pose about course planning and the kind of thinking entailed in teaching that supports research. Panelists will explore how particular assignments can promote instructors' research, responding helpfully to those assignments, devising strategies for learning about problems students have in their learning, and deciding when and how students can best learn from each other. Discussions will focus on what disciplinary skills, methods, and/or critical thinking skills are essential for undergraduates.
