The original plan to do a surveydid not appear necessary after finding these two surveys. Both surveys cover large academiclibraries. Brian S.

In 2003, Pellack’s survey indicated that there are many librariesdoing special ordering with format half of the libraries buying

The author should be left free to act for him/herself on using the information,depending on the situation. If the author has received multiple reviews, for example, theymay give conflicting advice. Or, the author may not have the necessary background orsufficient time to make involved changes suggested by a reviewer.Good feedback provides the amount of information that the author can use, rather thanthe amount that the reviewer would like to give. A reviewer who gets carried awaydescribing what (s)he knows about the topic may overload the author with moreinformation than can easily be used. Voluminous

innovationsaddressed in SFIP. This statistical analysis is relevant because if it could be proven that thesefactors do not have statistical significance (after they have been averaged), then the surveyresults would suggest that faculty variation might be less of an influence on outcomes than somepeople might think. The statistical analysis was set up as a “Hypothesis test on means of normal distribution –variance unknown” using Student’s t-test [24]. The test was performed on the means of all sevenquestions in the survey. The results of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 SFIP groups were categorized asthe “population mean (μ0)” while the results of the 2015 SFIP group were categorized as “samplemean (X)” and “sample standard deviation (S)”.

Sensing (S) or Intuition (N). The third categoryis about the way one takes decisions. Does he/she base decision on logic and consistency(Thinking (T)) or on people and circumstances (Feeling (F))? The last category is about howpeople deal with the outside world. Do they prefer to get things decided (Judging (J)) or stayopen to new information and options (Perceiving (P))? When the preference in each category isrecorded, the personality type is expressed as a code with four letters, one from each of the fourcategories. That leads to sixteen different personality types. This test is widely used in Americancompanies to form teams and it is used more than twenty years to form engineering designteams.12 However, some studies have shown that the Myers

preventstudents from finding out answers from those who took the exam earlier. But, if sectionsare taught back to back, the danger is minimized. If out-of-class common exams arescheduled, it is eliminated. Then a single exam can be used, which will save severalhours in creating the exam, and save grading time as well, due to lower startup overhead.Reason #4: Less web site/LMS overhead. Teaching one class means only one course website, and only one course to set up in a learning management system. The sameassignments, grade weights and policies apply to all sections.Reason #5: Fewer meetings of course staff. In most courses, it’s necessary to meet withTA(s) once a week, and this meeting may last an hour. In multi-section courses, a singlemeeting

These are harder to grade but students consistently tell me they learn more in my classes than in any others.Use questions from other sourcesA few textbook publishers come out with new problems in between editions of a textbook. Oneof our respondents noted that the publisher of a textbook (s)he uses came out with a “FourthEdition, revised,” which was the same as the “Fourth Edition,” except that the problems weredifferent. “Students mistakenly purchase the wrong version and create a problem forthemselves,” the instructor commented.

In the next sections comments from Minute Managers are given as examples.IV. What is the Most Important Thing That You Learned Today?The first question on the Minute Manager is “What is the most important thing that you learnedtoday?” The answer to this question is usually a very short summary of the main topic(s) of theday. Examples of this include: • Why variance is squared • That we have a table for F, how to use it • That if it’s two-sided you double the p-value • That you can test the significance of

The Scholarshipof Teaching was later changed to be the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL), and thelast category was later broadened by Boyer to include the scholarship of engagement and service(originally outreach) 2. By the mid 1990’s, the National Science Foundation had implemented a“broader impacts” criterion to research grant proposals, requiring that scientists and engineersapplying for research funds think carefully about, and describe, the ways in which their workmight impact society, and that they design education and

Therefore, it is in the long-term interests of new faculty that thisprecursor discussion targeting administrators be held.Our particular focus is scholarly teaching by engineering faculty. The NRC has recognized thatthere are distinct differences in the ways the various disciplines approach teaching andlearning([2], p. 5). Three linked events have prompted changes in the instructional environment forengineering faculty and created an opportunity for increased attention to evaluation of teaching: ‚ In the late 1990’s the system of accreditation for undergraduate engineering degrees shifted from a focus on process to a focus on student learning
teaming and leadership skills. We suggest employing thefollowing tactics to rebuild an officer group. First, obtain the names and emails for the20 top GPA students in the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes in the appropriatemajor(s). Email these students, inform them about the organization and the opportunitiesavailable to serve as officers, and ask them to attend an organizational meeting or cometo your office individually to discuss the possibilities. An important aspect of thisrecruitment is convincing these students that there is value added in the activity. Thougheach organization is somewhat different, the main value added deals with thedevelopment and demonstration of attributes that are not technical in nature (peopleskills
