Faculty Information

What is Faculty Information?

The Staff Information page allows Instructors to post information about themselves, teaching assistants, and guest speakers, and other course leaders. The page gives students a resource to look up names, email addresses, phone number, office hours, and photographs. This is also a great place to introduce staff - either professional or personal - for students to see. This is especially helpful in a completely online course where you may never actually meet your students face-to-face.
