Committee on Teaching members praised the focus on a known area of challenge (high-DFW courses), alignment with research-based reform recommendations from the National Academy of Sciences, and a promising course design model that could be translated to other departments teaching high-DFW courses.
The Way Klingler Teaching Enhancement Award is an annual award given to a team of two or more faculty members to develop, implement and evaluate a specific teaching project. One award of up to $20,000 is given to the selected project team for one fiscal year.
