Santa Clara University

Open Classrooms

Each year a group of Santa Clara faculty well known for their excellent teaching serve as Open Classroom Professors:  faculty are invited to visit the classrooms of these professors at any time (with advance notice).  The Open Classroom Professors are clear lecturers and good discussion leaders.  They are successful at creating learning environments in which students are engaged and motivated.

This year the following professors will continue to offer Open Classrooms for some or all of their courses:  Jerry Burger (Psychology), Eileen Elrod (English), Silvia Figueira (Engineering), Brad Joondeph (Law), Phil Kesten (Physics), and Andy Tsay (OMIS). Contact any of these faculty to schedule a class visit, or call the Faculty Development office for more information. Visitors are also encouraged to schedule coffee and conversation with the Open Classroom Professor afterwards.
