April 8, 1999

To encourage an open dialogue and draw upon imaginative approaches at Rice
to teaching science and engineering to majors and nonmajors, the Center for
the Study of Science and Technology (CSST) will hold a workshop on teaching
physics.

The workshop, "Teaching Introductory Physics," will be held at 4
p.m. April 22 in the Kyle Morrow Room, Fondren Library. Stephen Baker and Barry
Dunning, professors of physics, will lead the workshop.

The Rice community is invited to attend the series of faculty workshops on
the teaching of science in general education. Each session will include an informal
presentation by the speakers followed by general discussion from audience members.
