. InterpersonalRapport is as much about promoting positive emotion as it is about avoiding the stimulation ofnegative emotion. As noted previously, although the development of Interpersonal Rapport isone of the two key elements of the model, Lowman indicated that it is not nearly as essential tooutstanding teaching as developing Intellectual Excitement.Lowman’s Two-Dimensional Model of Effective College Teaching was developed by combiningIntellectual Excitement (IE) and Interpersonal Rapport (IR) into a three-by-three matrix whereeach element is rated as low, moderate, or high. Figure 1 shows Lowman’s Two-DimensionalModel, and includes each of the corresponding terms used to identify the different teachingstyles encountered and a brief description about the

study is not to necessarily recommend one tool, butto bring important information into one place to make it easier for instructors to compare andselect the tool that will work for them, their students, and their course.Background Assessment and feedback are important parts of the learning process. However,providing individualized feedback to students can be very time consuming for faculty andteaching assistants. Therefore it is important to provide authentic assessments and feedback thatsupport learning [1] while balancing the time required by course staff. New computer-basedtools have been developed to assist instructors with grading and feedback beyond the traditionalmultiple-choice Scantron based test. Learning management

evolved since 2009 and this paper will discuss anew approach to using UGTAs throughout a large scale, multi-disciplinary, multiple campusengineering program. This approach was created from the foundation of the KernEntrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) entrepreneurial mindset focusing on the 3 C’s;curiosity, connections, and creating value [1]. While many programs utilize UGTAs inengineering or other curriculums, few have done so at an entire college scale spanning both on-campus and online courses or focused on the growth and mentorship of the UGTAs themselves.The goal of the Fulton UGTA program is to provide UGTAs with the motivation to create newvalue in the classroom that wouldn’t otherwise be available and promote the

IntroductionThere is an increasing need to facilitate quality instruction in large enrollment courses. In orderto address this need, we have previously described the development and early use of an onlinequeuing system for education [1]. The Queue is an open-source application that allows studentsto add their name and question to an online queue (or virtual line) that is monitored by coursestaff or advisors. Students can easily access the Queue web page with a cell phone, tablet, laptop,or another device. Both students and course staff can view which

Academic integrity violations can range from cheating through premeditation bybringing restricted materials into an exam to glancing at another student’s exam [1]. Violationsof academic integrity can involve plagiarism, which includes taking the words or ideas ofanother person and passing them off as one’s own [2], or can involve working with otherstudents on an assignment when the expectation was that homework should be completed alone[3]. Although most universities define academic integrity similarly, the ways in which this areaof policy and education differ tremendously across institutions [2].

students over what theylearn and how, while also decreasing time spent on higher quality evaluation. Specifications grading, an evolution of contract grading [1], is a novel grading approachintroduced by Nilson [2] designed to help motivate students to focus on learning rather thanfeeling the need to obsessively count points. In a specifications grading approach, facultyprovide clear specifications of what is required to earn a given grade in the class. Rather thanbasing grades on point totals or a weighting system, students are given the option to completespecific assignments or bundles of assignments that link to a specified grade. Each assignment isgraded on a pass/fail basis where passing is typically defined as B or B+ level work

This includes liberal arts colleges, comprehensiveschools, and universities that have a Master's program but do not offer doctorate degrees.Research has several benefits to teaching oriented institutions. First, faculty members must staycurrent in their field. This makes faculty members more knowledgeable and as a result, moreeffective teachers.

Determine the purpose of the evaluation; 2. Define the aspects/dimensions of teaching to be evaluated; 3. Identify valid sources of data or evidence for each aspect of teaching being evaluated; 4. Specify the criteria, or measuring instrument, by which the aspects will be judged; 5. Analysis and interpretation of data by skilled, trained personnel; and 6. Set weights, or scoring mechanism, for each aspect of teaching being evaluated.The first five of these steps are examined in this paper; the sixth step is left for future

to avoid similar problems in the future.Considerations of group composition, group size, and what topics to discuss are examined.I. IntroductionTraditionally, Assistant Professors begin their career with a minimum of preparation for certainaspects of the job. For example, many new faculty members are straight out of graduate schoolwithout experience developing research directions or preparing classes. According to work byBoice, new faculty generally take 4-5 years to build necessary experience before starting to meetthe standards set by their institutions.1 Such lengthy adjustment periods have a negative impacton faculty performance and thus on the probability of tenure. Common actions new faculty take to improve their performance include

Also, most universities provide some guidance to facultyadvisors through their student services office. Common themes emerge from theseguides about the faculty advisor’s role.

At the turn of the nineteenth century, using such subjective data for analysis was Page 12.556.7abandoned in favor of using only observable actions as appropriate objective data. This resultedin the behaviorist perspective, where learning is understood as the formation, strengthening, andadjustment of associations between ideas, stimuli, and responses.
