Teaching Scholars for 2001-2002

  Yin Zhang - Library & Information Science
Teaching Project
 Yin is participating in the Teaching Scholars program to seek possible solutions to the major challenges she has been facing in her teaching: 1) Quality graduate level teaching with a large class size; and 2) Teaching technology courses effectively with students having different technology backgrounds.  She believes the collaborative nature and diversity of disciplines involved in this program would be very helpful to suggest constructive solutions to meet these challenges.
