New Faculty also meet for one hour approximately every other week during the fall semester and about every three weeks during the spring semester to discuss various issues based largely on the participants' preferences. The FYFLC often goes to dinner after the meetings. In past years, the meeting topics have included the following:
1) Mechanisms for obtaining mid-semester feedback from students about the teaching in a course
2) Effective writing assignments and prompts
3)Active learning techniques
4) Discussion leading skills
5) Teaching with technology

Time is also devoted to how to interpret and use the end of semester course/teaching evaluations, and to the review process, including ideas on how best to document one's work in writing annual reports, pre-tenure review, etc. The group also meets with representative Advisory Council members once during the year. The FYFLC is co-facilitated by Robby Moore and Mickey McDonald.
