been forced to share resources, such as computers, with siblings [1]. Asinstructors tried to adapt to these challenges for their students, many opted to prerecord classes.Doing so allowed students to access lectures asynchronously. Using online platforms to postprerecorded lectures has been used effectively since the 1990’s [3]. Prerecorded lectures providestudents the ability to pause and replay any part of the lecture [3]. Today, the pioneeringconcepts of Holman et al. (1999) have served as a foundation with the traditional lecturerecorded onto each PowerPoint slide, allowing students to watch the prerecording in its entiretyor choose slides where additional study is needed.

theirorganizations, Ibarra 12 used the term “provisional selves” to talk about the experimental phasesof identity formation as one adjusts to new expectations and sometimes even new organizationalcultures. He witnessed several forms of experimentation that advancing professionals use,including imitation, efforts to remain true to one’s self and ideals, and use of internal andexternal feedback mechanisms to evaluate their developing “provisional selves.” Ibarra definedthese strategies as “the degree of congruence between what one feels and what onecommunicate[s] in public behavior about one’s character or competence”12 (p.778). With itsfocus on personal-professional identity alignment, this autoethnography employs the secondform of experimentation, “true-to
the faculty and the impression(s) arrived at by the author, leads oneto believe that it is highly unlikely that new more effective teaching-learning strategieswould be deployed any time soon, unless drastic measures are undertaken. The author ismore convinced now than ever, that classroom reformation, including deployment of activelearning strategies, would happen only if the institution mandates it!The Pros and Cons of the Lecture FormatWhen asked why he/she lectures, one faculty responded: “It is a tradition. It was part of mytraining, and seems to dwell in me and seems like what I should be doing. I feel guilty when Iam not lecturing” (13). This candid statement suggests one of the great dilemmas faced by allwho teach at the postsecondary

At the end of this program, each reviewer fills out aquestionnaire and scorecard for the company which is then used to decide the admission of theapplicant company.3.2 Step 2 - Streamlined Licensing and Contracting ProcessesOnce selected, the licensing and contracting phase begins. In this phase, the company enters intoagreements with the University to license any applicable intellectual property (IP) and to licenseVA mentor services. The contacts stipulate the type of services provided, as well as the equityand fees associated with the contracts. In general, the equity earned by VA is significantly largerthan would be earned through licensing alone.As
team-based major design project was assigned (see Workshops for Week 1 in Table A1). In assigningcourse grades, there are two benchmarks that must be met to earn a non-F grade. The first is a60% or better individual grade on the team design project, and the second is earning 60% ormore of the available points for computer programming efforts. Additionally, an EngE2984course grade of C- or better is needed to meet the pre-requisite to continue to the nextengineering course(s); this is true for all freshman program courses. The main reason for offering this five-credit course is to move GE transfer students intotheir degree-granting departments as quickly as possible, so changing the course to a summeroffering was an obvious outcome from
. During the first three clue hunts, each team member had the chance to be a leader for thefirst time. Upon completion of the solution report, each team member including the leaderassessed the leader’s strengths and weakness without necessarily knowing what exactlyconstitutes a good leader. This served as a learning experience where each student decided whats/he wanted to see from a leader or what s/he should work on as a leader. For the last three cluehunts, each student was required to serve as leader one more time, but this time a more formalleadership assessment was performed. Various leadership skills were stated on a form and eachstatement was rated with a 5 point scale. The leader was given the completed forms, whichincluded a self
least two reasons.The Problem of CaricatureThe first point that I want to make is that a quick look at the “three dominant branches ofethical theory” is almost always a caricature. The typical reading list includes primary orsecondary source material from Aristotle for virtue ethics, Jeremy Bentham or J. S. Millfor utilitarianism, and Immanuel Kant for deontology. However, these thinkers are quitecomplex in their thinking, with the result that what is able to be summarized in one ortwo classes is almost certainly misleading. In addition, it is difficult to understand themotivations of such historically removed philosophers, with the result that one oftentakes their views to be ridiculous and easily dismissed. For instance, Aristotleinfamously
