OVERVIEW

The fifth Teaching Effectiveness Colloquium is being organized by the INFORM-ED and INFORMS Education Committee and is designed to address the growing concern for the quality of both undergraduate and graduate level OR/MS instruction. This colloquium is targeted toward faculty and doctoral students who are interested in current trends in teaching in OR/MS. A series of sessions given by successful and effective teachers will be included in this colloquium, providing an opportunity for teachers at any stage of their professional development to pursue continuous improvement. Important takeaways from this colloquium include an understanding of what works best for teaching OR/MS to different students (undergraduate, graduate, M.B.A.); knowledge of available software for a variety of topics; how to use the web effectively; and strategies for achieving excellence in the classroom.
