Master Classes: Why our Solar System is the way it is

Teaching Innovation Studios presents Master Classes KSC (a pilot)

Have you ever been helping students pick courses--or listening to colleagues talk about their courses--and thought to yourself, “I wish I could take that class!”?

We envision Master Classes KSC as your opportunity to live that dream!

Master classes will bring together faculty from across the campus to show and teach some of their best classes. This will be an opportunity to learn about other disciplines, content, and faculty and a way to build community and cross-disciplinary collaborations. The goal is to discover what and how other faculty are doing in their classes to foster future conversations, partnerships, and collaborations across disciplines. Or maybe just to learn something new.

For this pilot edition, four of our colleagues will be offering the opportunity to experience one of their most interesting, most exciting, or favorite topics as a student for one class session. Come check them out!
