measures. Future work related to theObserver function is also presented.IntroductionClassroom observation tools can be useful in providing real-time feedback to instructors’teaching practice not only in a traditional lecture-based classroom, but also in more recentengineering courses, which often include team-based, laboratory activities and some problem-based and/or project-based learning activities. The latter often requires multiple pedagogicalskills, such as the skills to motivate students and guide in their problem-solving processes, theability to arrange team-based learning activities and other classroom management skills, whichcan be challenging for new instructors or graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) before they gainenough teaching

writing progress for a myriad of reasons. Good intentions to write can besidetracked by competing obligations and pressing deadlines11. For students enrolled in classes,serving as teaching or laboratory assistants, and perhaps trying to balance family or other offcampus obligations, finding time, structure, and motivation to write can prove challenging. Inresponse, they may succumb to unhealthy habit of ‘binge writing’, mistaking believing that theywill be more creative and productive if they write sporadically in bursts that lead to exhaustion4.A simple way to create effective writing habits and ensure steady progress is to set writing goals.A goal is simply an articulated desired end-state. Goal setting has received intense scholarlyattention

and safe operation of laboratory equipment, and  More efficient and effective literature searches.Since about 88% of the 25 students in this graduate student group are interested industry careers,the new thrust in the 2011-2012 program focused on developing researchers with well-roundedskillsets (i.e., professional, literary, communication skills) that are needed in industry. Sincemany domestic and international students enter into the American workforce without such skills,these new graduates require a certain amount of time for "professional acclimation," whichresults in reduced production for the individual and affects the young researcher’s psyche as wellas the hiring company’s bottom line. The graduate students themselves

inquiry learning approach in an introductoryphysics class resulted in higher student performance on concept inventory tests.9 In this study,students were asked to make predictions or define hypothesis, then they were able to view ormanipulate a laboratory demonstration. These research studies are only a few of the possibleevidence-based research that could be presented to new TAs. Other research describing thebenefits of active learning on retention, performance, and attitudes have also been considered for Page 23.136.4this overview. 4,13,23During the active learning presentation, the participants also watch a short video clip of a GSI orTA

dean. These engineering programs have received separate ABET accreditationbecause of the differences in location, facilities, administration, and support services from theengineering programs in Lexington.All Paducah faculty positions, with the exception of the former director, are special-title series.These positions are primarily upper division nine-month teaching appointments. However, dueto the nature of the Paducah program, these appointments involve additional assignments,including student recruitment, undergraduate laboratory development, and professionaldevelopment. The traditional responsibilities involving instruction, academic advisement, anduniversity service also apply. Because of these unique responsibilities and the limited

through selected quotations how the proposedresearch mentoring models exist and apply to each of the mentoring relationships, regardless ofgender composition, research area, type of laboratory or experimental work, etc. The coachingmodel is explained first from the perspective of 3 mentoring pairs: Mia and Annie (both female),Nate and Scott (both male), and Russell and Rachel (male mentor and female mentee). Thesupervisory model follows, as demonstrated by Dwayne and Amelia (male mentor and femalementee), Keeley and Veronica (both female), and Drake and Shannon (male mentor and femalementee). These gender pairings are summarized in Table 2Error! Reference source not found
