TEACHING AND LEARNING SERVICES
As the quarter to semester conversion process unfolds, many faculty members are now working on course level
changes. Converting your course can be challenging but you can get help at Teaching & Learning Services on the
A level of The Wallace Center (A650).
We have walk-in hours:
Thursdays, 1PM – 3PM
Fridays, 9AM - 11AM
Our staff of Instructional Design Consultants offer consultations on course (re)design and other conversion
issues without an appointment.
TLS is also the place to confer with faculty colleagues on course conversion or to work on your course in a quiet,
technology-enabled environment.
Comments or questions can be directed to the Academic Calendar Conversion Office [email protected].
