Faculty College: What do we do now?
In spring 2004, the SoTL initiative conducted a survey of faculty and instructional academic staff to determine the primary teaching challenges on the UW Oshkosh campus. Response to the survey was strong quantitatively (N=144) and qualitatively (nearly all respondents wrote lengthy, often impassioned comments). These responses led to the determination of a top five “Teaching Challenges” list:
- Student motivation.
- Student writing ability.
- Grade inflation (grading pressure and unrealistic student expectations).
- Large classes.
- Differences in faculty and student expectations for academic life.
