weighted accordingpredefined relationships, and final course grades are handed out. With this model ofdevelopment, all that is required is for the faculty member to store final assignmentgrades in the grade book.This, however, does not allow faculty members to compile student performance metricson a sub-assignment level. For example, the net final score would not reflect if half ofthe students are having extreme difficulty expressing the problems they encounteredwhile performing a laboratory experiment. Simply recording grades also does not allowone to readily factor in other aspects of grading, such as improvement with time in areasof difficulty. However, by converting the grade book into an electronic rubric book,multiple aspects of a student’s

Some engineers indicate that they work on projectswith personal significance, for example, one was discussing his/her work with devices to monitorheart health, that “what we’re working on is something that’ll keep people from that—from notbeing

My interest in opportunities with the Materials Science course came afterhaving a student instructor for the laboratory portion of the course the previous year. While myreal ambition was to instruct the lab, it was still required that I familiarize myself with the coursework and content as a grader before attempting lab instruction.Grading for the course certainly serves as a refresher for the material content and helps inidentifying quality student work over submissions made with less effort. Performing this workas well as assisting in exam grading led to a student-professor working

Usually serving onseveral committees within one’s department and university, or with professional organizations, isconsidered sufficient.Non-tenure track faculty, such as lecturers and laboratory instructors at research universities, aswell as tenure-track faculty at teaching institutions may not be expected to perform significantlevels of funded research which result in publications as part of their jobs.

The diverse group from variousdisciplines helped identify core areas specific to APSC that needed to be addressed. These corecompetencies have come to include: 1. Understanding of the TA instructor relationship. 2. Understanding of the TA student relationship. 3. Fair, efficient and effective marking strategies. 4. Effective Laboratory\Tutorial development, presentations and time management skills. 5. Professional expectations and
funding, junior faculty visibility, and mentoring to achieve tenure. Thepurpose of the faculty education program will be to answer frequently asked questions by newand junior faculty. An educational program will be put together by determining commonquestions through a junior and senior faculty survey, since senior faculty are often the ones whoare asked the questions. The JFAB members will then seek answers to the questions fromfaculty, staff, and administrators and compile these into a packet that will be handed out to newfaculty and placed online.
