UPPERCLASS WOMEN: WE NEED YOUR HELP AS MENTORS FOR INCOMING FEMALE ENGINEERING STUDENTS! M & Ms is a mentoring program for incoming female freshman engineers, designed to help ease the transition between high school and college and keep these students pursuing their engineering degrees. Upperclass women engineering students (sophomores through seniors) are needed to help make this program possible. Now is your chance to give back. As a mentor, you would be paired a freshwoman in engineering, offering guidance and support during her first year at OSU. This mentoring program is a great opportunity for mentors to develop leadership skills and get chances to socialize with women professors here at OSU as well as some key faculty and current engineers. New to M & Ms in 2008–09 are Industrial Mentors, professional women engineers who will serve as mentors for M & M mentors! There will be many social outings such as ice cream socials, dinners, speakers and outings. If you have any questions or you are interested in becoming a mentor, and being involved in this fun and exciting opportunity, email your contact information (name, major, email address), class standing, and whether you will be on MECOP during 2008–09) to Karena Dokken (dokkenk@onid.orst.edu) by Monday June 9th.

LL STEWART SCHOLAR WORKSHOP: “Promoting Active Learning in the Classroom with Concept-Based Instruction.” Presenter: Milo Koretsky, CBEE. Wednesday, May 21, 9–10:30 am, Owen 241. In an interactive, hands-on manner, this workshop will introduce instructors to a tool developed with funding from a LL Stewart Faculty Scholar Grant, the Web-based Interactive Science and Engineering (WISE) Learning Tool. WISE is designed to utilize the College of Engineering’s Wireless Laptop Initiative so that every student in a class is simultaneously engaged, creating a learner centered class based on active learning. WISE can be used to develop activities that probe for conceptual understanding and deeper level thinking. It allows real-time formative assessment by the instructor. After the students have submitted a response to an activity, the instructor can review a summary of the results with the class. Depending on the class response, the instructor can choose an appropriate method (e.g. peer instruction, instructor explanation) to reinforce or correct the response. In this workshop, participants will learn how to use WISE in their classes including: creation of questions, delivery in class, and strategies for concept-based instruction. It is designed for OSU faculty but is also free and open to the public [posted 5/12, updated 5/19]

 

THE JUST CLASSROOM: A CONVERSATION. Tuesday, May 27, 4–5 pm, MU 206. What is a just classroom? We teach about justice; we encourage our students to live justly; but what how do we construct classrooms that are in themselves just? This conversation, facilitated by DPD Director Susan Shaw, will help faculty examine how they can model justice through their teaching. We will address such issues as power arrangements in the classroom, faculty-student and student-student relationships, student and faculty behavior, assignments and assessment, and institutional issues (class size, facilities, etc).
