Food for Thought series (Lunchtime Seminars)

'Food for Thought', a series of informal lunch hour discussion sessions, provides a forum for the exchange of ideas about teaching and learning. Each session begins with a brief description of some pedagogical strategy or issue shared by colleagues or students, then followed by discussions and comments. Thus, the sessions have focus, but informal discussion constitutes the primary mode of discourse.
