Mike Pinter, Director of the Belmont Teaching Center, in partnership with the Provost’s Office, co-facilitated three Belmont Faculty Forums on January 30, February 13, and March 6, and presented at the March 6 forum.  These forums presented faculty with student perceptions of the overall learning environments Belmont University offers, communicated information from student focus groups related to academic gain and academic challenge, and offered ideas about critical thinking and academic rigor in the classroom.
