Register to attend Qualtrics Roundtable!

Qualtrics has become an important tool in research and organization since Towson began subscribing to the software. But while launching a survey may be relatively uncomplicated, many of the more advanced functions can be challenging. Join us for a roundtable discussion that will include tips, tricks and personal experiences. Lunch will be provided to in-person attendees.

Co-Sponsored by Cook Library, the College of Education Office of Research and Evaluation and FACET Featuring: Soo-yeon Hwang (Cook Library), Karla Kubitz (Kinesiology) and Geoff Munro (Psychology)

Cook Library 404B 

FACET acknowledges the excellent work of TU faculty in engaging in scholarship of teaching and learning projects whereby they measure the impact of innovative practices that they have implemented in their courses. All faculty are invited to a FACET Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Celebration lunch event to celebrate campus initiatives to expand SoTL at Towson University. Especially highlighted will be this year’s cohort of FACET SoTL mini-grant awardees, who are currently completing their research projects. 

Lunch will be provided!
