Assignment Guidelines: Faculty Perspectives Discussion

Overview

You will engage with video interviews featuring faculty members from the College of Professional Studies. These faculty members are not only educators but also professionals in their respective fields. Their insights provide valuable perspectives on education and professional development. Please note that due to the recent merger, you may encounter references to Granite State College (GSC), which has now become the online division of the UNH College of Professional Studies.

Task

- Begin by watching the first two video interviews:
  - Chuck Bagley, Lecturer in Adult Learning & Development
  - Laurie Quinn, former Provost & Vice President of Academic Affairs at the College of Professional Studies
- These interviews are relevant across various fields of study.
Select an Additional Interview:
- Choose at least one more interview to watch. You have the flexibility to explore topics that interest you.
Discussion Post:
- Write a discussion post that responds to the following questions:
  - Observations about Faculty Experience and Formal Education:
    - Reflect on the role that experience and formal education have played in the academic and professional development of Chuck Bagley and Laurie Quinn.
  - Your Own Experience and Education:
    - Share your thoughts on how your personal experience and formal education have influenced your professional and personal growth. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers—just express what you genuinely think!
Engage with Classmates:
- Respond to at least two initial posts from your classmates.
- While a basic response earns credit, consider providing in-depth and substantial replies to multiple student posts for a higher grade on this assignment.
