To receive an Excellent rating, a faculty member should demonstrate presentations and publications on innovations in course content and teaching methodology.
My interests in pedagogy relate to two themes: 1) to transform the classroom and the experience of higher education based on innovation culture and the new paradigm of the gift economy (topics I blog about at The Burning Mind Project), and 2) how to use service learning as a mechanism to enhance the quality of instruction.
