The best practice is to attach Table 5.1a to each transcript clearly showinghow each course on the student’s transcript satisfies the established curriculum, especially forelective courses. This can be particularly helpful for a practitioner PEV who does not deal withtranscripts on a daily basis. In cases where there is a variation from the established curriculum,attach a waiver or memorandum which acknowledges the variation and explains the reasoningbehind it.Finally, it is very important to remember that PEVs are volunteers. They give of their time toserve the profession on top of already busy schedules. As a courtesy among professionals, it isimportant that programs put forth their best effort via high quality and well

We have designed a path to guide UTAs tobecome the best possible resource for our students, and at the same time, to provide UTAs with ameaningful personal experience.BackgroundThe main reason we had to start active learning, was need for innovation. Our program in theEngineering School (E-School) had been left idle for about 20 years, since the APMAdepartment was eliminated in early ‘90. Applied Math (APMA) courses were taught either byfaculty from other Engineering departments as an “APMA-tax” to the Dean, or outsourced to theMath department, in the College of Arts and Science. Nobody had interest or incentive to changeanything. Finally, in 2011/2012, a new

[10] Can students, given the most common modes of education inethics, develop a sense of what Edmund Burke called the “moral imagination”? And how wouldwe know if they did?The lack of consensus about best practices in ethics education, coupled with a sense ofheightened need in current times, could reasonably seem like cause for potential concern, if notalarm. But it can also be argued that a lack of consensus offers an opportunity forexperimentation and exploration.
