PROFESSOR WEB SITES/SYLLABI
ONLINE: 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.
