Join Bobby Wilken, owner of , and 性欲社 faculty for an engaging discussion about ways to enrich teaching with field research experiences.

Just as the brewer鈥檚 worts are enriched by sequences of wild yeast and Lactobacillus added to the fermentation process, instruction can be matured by experiences gained in the field or by painstaking research. This Teaching Tips Live session will be broadcast from HooDoo Brewery and will feature stories about Wilken鈥檚 search for great tasting beer.

性欲社 faculty members Chris Hartman, of the Department of Computer Science, and Karen Taylor, of the Department of Communication, will also share successful field research techniques they have used at 性欲社.

Join the conversation at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 11, via this link: . Teaching Tips Live events are delivered via Google Hangouts, meaning participants won鈥檛 be able to taste the beer but are encouraged to ask real-time questions.
