PROFESSOR WEB SITES/SYLLABI
ONLINE: Would you allow the Presidential Scholars
Think Tank to post a link to your Web site? The Presidential Scholars
Think Tank has designed a site to be a central hub for students to
access professors' Web sites/syllabi. This provides students the opportunity
to research a professor and his or her teaching style. Students would
be able to match learning style with teaching style. It is an objective
site, not like "Pick-a-Prof." If you have any questions or would allow
a link to your Web site contact Matt Jaeger at mjaeger@uni.edu.
