Koevenig: 'Study Guide'

Sitting in his cramped office in Snow Hall, James Koevenig, associate professor of biology at Brown University, received a philosophy of teaching and education. Koevenig is one of five finalists for the Senior Class HOPE Award to be presented by the National Society of Memorial Sanders.
Koeving prepared a paper for students in his biology classes where he asked them purpose and objectives of his course. In that paper he stated, "Education is a personal thing that asks about what students want" (education) occurs when one begins to ask why some students have idea of the way to find out."
Of basic concern to Koevinge is helping students to learn, or guiding study, but he said he can't really teach them.
"All I or any other instructor can do is to open new areas of interest to you (the student) and ask them how they see and solving problems," he said.

"It's most satisfying," he said "when I can believe that I have helped them put things together with a logistic expert on the ground."

scientists have developed millions of ways to go about attacking problems," he said.
The most challenging aspect of teaching, Koveeng said, is to get students to think and to respond to a presentation of information.
"There are some days when I come in and the class is just like a party. There are already going when I get to class, and I am just there as a class."
It takes a long time, however, to get students to the point where they lose their inhibitions enough to carry on a class like that, he
Koevenig said that most of what he teaches is done through an inquiry-discussion approach.
"Who's to say what is relevant," Koevingen said. He said he sees a need for schools that give people skills—schools that, for example, give a person a degree in plumbing or wiring.
Large classes, due mostly to
"Most departments and schools at KU haven't realized that good teaching takes a lot of effort. Preparation of lectures, invening ways of getting across different ideas to the class and the follow-up of personal interviews make a great deal of time, he said.
"I don't think students can see the relevancy in some things," he said. "Education is the one time when experience can't be ignored."
only through interaction between faculty and students. This is a costly process, he said, and the faculty's Kansas are not ready to support it.
"There's got to be a closer relationship between faculty and students, and that can only come from knowing in the size of classes," he said.
that would better the quality of education, he said.
The issue of grades, Koevingen said, is just a "red herring. The real issue is an inability and lack of motivation to teach at teaching universities," of teaching undergraduates.
