Where do I park?

Faculty parking stickers are available from the NU police. There are lots near the FMCEDC and Tech, but they tend to fill up quickly.

Where is the course information for students posted?

We are using NU's Course Management System (CMS) to publish course related information to students. However, some information will be linked from this website during the opening week of the course to insure that students who are adding the course late can get the materials.

Whom should I contact if I have questions about teaching in EDC?

Engineering faculty should contact Bruce Ankenman, while writing faculty should contact Penny Hirsch.

EDC faculty share many ideas about teaching in an 'EDC Repository' that has now been folded into the EDC community on NuWrite, Northwestern's online writing resources. Faculty can access the EDC resources on NuWrite by clicking on EDC on the NuWrite home page; they then need to login with their Northwestern netID and password.
