Center for Teaching Excellence
Browse by
The KU Center for Teaching Excellence was established in 1997. Our purpose is to:
- Provide opportunities for teaching faculty to discuss students’ learning and ways to enhance learning in their classrooms;
- Support faculty as they implement their ideas for improving students’ learning;
- Bring research about teaching to the attention of the university community;
- Encourage involvement in the scholarship of teaching and learning;
- Offer course assistance at any stage: planning, teaching, or evaluating;
- Foster instructional innovation;
- Advocate and recognize excellence in teaching.

Evolution of the complementary sex-determination gene of honey bees: Balancing selection and trans-species polymorphisms
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2006-10-25)The mechanism of sex determination varies substantively among evolutionary lineages. One important mode of genetic sex determination is haplodiploidy, which is used by ∼20% of all animal species, including >200,000 species ... -
A Test of Baker’s Law: Breeding Systems and the Radiation of Tolpis (Asteraceae) in the Canary Islands
(University of Chicago Press, 2008-07-01)Baker’s law posits that self‐compatible (SC) plants will be more successful than self‐incompatible (SI) plants in long‐distance colonization because a single propagule can establish a viable population. Oceanic islands ... -
Biosystematic Analysis of the Cystopteris tennesseensis (Dryopteridaceae) Complex
(Missouri Botanical Society, 1990-01-01)The allotetraploid Cystopteris tennesseensis and its putative diploid progenitors, C. bulbifera and C. protrusa, constitute the C. tennesseensis complex. Although previous studies provided evidence of morphological, ... -

Phylogenetic Relationships of the Enigmatic Malesian Fern Thylacopteris (Polypodiaceae, Polypodiidae)
(University of Chicago Press, 2004-11-01)Thylacopteris is the sister to a diverse clade of polygrammoid ferns that occurs mainly in Southeast Asia and Malesia. The phylogenetic relationships are inferred from DNA sequences of three chloroplast genome regions ... -
Patterns of Genetic Variation in Southern Appalachian Populations of Athyrium filix‐femina var. asplenioides (Dryopteridaceae)
