All faculty can schedule individual advising appointments with Elizabeth Cohn. These sessions are completely confidential. They can be opportunities to review syllabi and problem-solve any issues faculty are having with their teaching, such as leading discussions, handling challenging students, getting students to do the reading, and so on.

In addition, Elizabeth Cohn organizes an annual teaching cafe, where faculty can discuss various aspects of teaching and exchange best practices. This year, the cafe will take place on Wednesday 25 October, from 11.30am to 1pm.
