SUMMARY:Excellence in Teaching
DESCRIPTION:What separates a good teacher from a great one? How are digital technologies challenging traditional teaching methods? And are there distinctions between top-notch science instructors and their counterparts in humanities or social science?

He is a recipient of the William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society of America and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the PEN American Center. \nAlan Guth is MIT’s Victor F. Weisskopf Professor of Physics\, pioneer of the inflationary model of the universe and recipient of the MacVicar award for exemplary contributions to undergraduate teaching. \nHazel Sive is a biology professor at MIT\, a member of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and a recipient of the MacVicar award for exemplary contributions to undergraduate teaching. \nA reception in room 14E-304 will follow.
