Other Course Description or Assignment Information: 
• This posting is specifically for applicants to the CUPE Unit 1 Teaching and Career Development Fellowships. See Appendix D of the Collective Agreement. The First-Year Seminars Program offers a number of small, engaging, research-intensive, learner-centred courses, intended to break down the barriers between high school and university, student and faculty, ambition and achievement. • The seminars offer instructors the opportunity to re-think their teaching, to explore new, creative and often unconventional or experimental courses, around topics that are personally interesting or intriguing, in the context of the energy and dynamism of a small and enthusiastic group of students. • Seminars offer students the opportunity to experience research in action and in application, to engage more directly with issues and ideas, and to develop skills of analysis and communication that will augment their learning throughout their time at Guelph and beyond. • Applicants must submit a course proposal. Each application will be assessed primarily on the strength of the Proposal Rationale & Course Outline (i.e Learning outcomes (LOs) aligned with UOG undergraduate LOs; Constructive Alignment between LOs and Teaching & Learning Activities and Assessment. Rationale for why instructor wants to teach this FYS – what value/purpose is for instructor and how will you introduce students to your disciplinary practice while extending the boundary of your comfort/practice. • Other assessment criteria for each proposal includes: Interdisciplinarity (at least 3 disciplines incorporated beyond your own College), Uniqueness, Learner Centred and instructor role as facilitator, Active/Collaborative Pedagogy with evidence, Balance Academic Rigor with Inclusion, Fit (current climate as well as rationale re: instructor’s passion), Fun/Dynamism/Pizzazz. • Applicants are also encouraged to clearly demonstrate their prior teaching experience and competence, including engagement in their own teaching and learning development, and providing evidence of past teaching effectiveness. • Be sure to review the proposal guidelines here: http://www.uoguelph.ca/vpacademic/fys/
