In addition to eight years of management experience at a nation-wide corporation, I have been an academic for the past nine years. I have taught at five different institutions (two research universities, a medium-size private college, and two community colleges). In less than a decade, I have taught over twenty-eight different courses and 80 different sections.
Please contact me (johng@illinois.edu) if you would like to schedule a meeting or speaking engagement. I have given professional development seminars that include:
- course design, including syllabus and visualizing traditional documents
- improve your course evaluations
- mid-semester course evaluations, syllabus adjustments, and “taking the temperature” of your class
- teaching observations
- faculty time-management practices (with a focus on saving time!)
- writing workshops and bootcamps
- job application documents
- motivation and wellness practices
- incremental evaluation and assessment
- teaching with audio and visual computer programs
- online teaching practices
- grading practices and advice, with an emphasis on saving time and increasing efficacy
- conflict resolution
