In some cases, they continued in school because the drive to learn new things was so great, because family provided a sense of identity and career direction, or because of initial interest in a related field. In other cases, they stumbled upon the field quite by accident. Regardless of the reason, the passion they hold for their work is obvious. 3 Tue, 06 May 2008 15:44:41 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/syndicatemizzou/ipod/intersection-50.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/syndicatemizzou/ipod/intersection-50.m4v In this segment, faculty members talk about how their research and creative activity contribute to better teaching, as well as the relationship between these two aspects of their work. Frequently, the two endeavors intersect, profitting both. Carmen Chicone remarks, “If you are actively involved in your subject, you’re bound to be a much better teacher.” 3 Tue, 06 May 2008 15:44:43 GMT
