Friday, September 10, noon - 1pm, 111 HRY
Peter Coco & Hazel McClure, University Libraries
Help your students write better research papers by giving them better assignments. Recent studies show that the many otherwise effective research assignment handouts don't provide students with key guidance on how they should do their research. Assignments that provide that guidance can challenge students to critically engage with their research process and resist the temptations of plagiarism and “good enough." We’ll focus on practical techniques with applications across the curriculum and share the University Libraries' new Research Guidance Rubric for Assignment Design.

Critical Thinking: Designing Instructional Strategies to Promote Critical Thought Webinar
Tuesday, October 5, 1-3pm, KC 1142
Dr. Enoch Hale, Fellow, Foundation and Center for Critical Thinking
Part Two of Three: Question Generating Concepts
The critical mind is the questioning mind. The extent to which students ask genuine questions and seek to answer them reflects the extent to which students take content seriously and think it through. The problem is that our students rarely know how to systematically ask questions that probe content by searching out assumptions, concepts, purposes, information, inferences and solutions, points of view, or implications. They rarely seek out intellectual standards to evaluate the quality of their thought and the thoughts of others: questions that target clarity, depth, relevance, validity, significance, and accuracy. We want to create a classroom culture where students actively, reflectively, and fair-mindedly question the content and each other. Such a culture cultivates important intellectual skills and abilities as well as virtuous dispositions like intellectual flexibility, empathy, humility, integrity, open-mindedness, and perseverance to name a few. This session will focus on the relationship between our ability to question and our ability to think critically. Participants will explore various ways to help students develop questions that analyze and evaluate content and their thinking. This webinar will be archived online for future access. Please contact the FTLC for details.

Nancy Patterson, Associate Professor College of Education, Literacy Studies Program Chair
Rubrics have been a part of teachers’ realities for a generation and have represented not only the promise of more authentic means of assessing writing, but a mechanism that would be efficient and quick. Yet, for many, rubrics have not fulfilled these promises. This workshop will first explore some of the problems that rubrics create and suggest alternatives that recognize the complex processes through which writing happens. Participants will have the opportunity to work in small groups and explore the issues involved in their discipline-specific writing forms.

Thursday, October 28, 9 - 10am, 2201 KC

Who should attend?
• Any faculty member who wants to know about the many grant offerings available in FTLC.
• Faculty planning to apply for a competitive grant, February 1 or April 1.
• Anyone interested in finding out more about the process and the types of projects supported in the past.
• As time permits there will be a discussion of individual projects.
What kinds of projects are funded?
We’ve funded everything from the purchase of animal skulls and bacteria to comprehensive curricular revisions. These grants can help you to:
• develop new and innovative pedagogies for a course, a series of courses, a degree, or an entire program.
• purchase materials for your classroom that are above and beyond your department’s normal expenditures.
• course revision, degree revision.
• develop a new degree, new minor, or a pilot program.
What if your project has elements of your own research agenda?
These grants are focused primarily on teaching, but that does not disqualify proposals in which teaching and scholarship/creative activity intersect. In fact, we encourage faculty to use their scholarship and creative activities to inform and enliven their teaching whenever possible, and we support this Teacher Scholar model in our grant program.

Understanding by Design is a framework for course development that aligns assessment with instruction.

This strategy for developing any course or aspect of a course is useful for all delivery methods, and may be especially timely for those developing and teaching online and hybrid courses. Participants are asked to bring a syllabus. Using it, we will analyze one or more aspects of your course to which we will apply Backward Design. Participants will leave with at least one clear example from their own course and an ability to apply it to others.

Wednesday, November 17, 3 - 4pm, 302E DEV
Christine Rener, Pew FTLC
As someone who has spent a lot of time in meetings, I have often wondered why the default length of a meeting is one hour. Why not thirty minutes?

As interest and programs in service-learning and civic engagement continue to increase at colleges and universities so does the need to work collaboratively to provide the most beneficial and engaging experiences for students. The success of any service-learning or civic engagement project starts with the development and nurturing of strong partnerships. This webinar will focus on how to develop, sustain, and evaluate staff/faculty partnerships in service-learning and civic engagement. Although focused in service-learning and civic engagement much of the material shared can be applied to other types of collaborations as well.Specific webinar outcomes include identifying and discussing:
- Best approaches for recruiting faculty or staff supporters and collaborators
- Important steps in building collaborative and democratic relationships
- Finding solutions to the common barriers that can arise in partnerships
- How to evaluate and sustain the health of the partnership/collaboration over time
