-specific educational objectives.The shortcomings of using standardized end of semester assessments can be overcome by using aseries of multiple short assessments during a semester, in which assessments are designedspecifically for the course and the student body. This assessment-improvement feedback processflowchart is shown in Figure 1. This process substantially reduces the assessment -improvement-verification turn-around time, making it easier to determine the effectiveness of teaching orcurriculum changes on the learning experience. It also addresse s the problem of varying classdynamics since changes in course curriculum or the teaching style directly benefit those studentsparticipating in the assessment.

It can bedone, but these networks must be in place.IV. Working Women/Mothers in the Fields of Science and TechnologyAccording to U.S. News & World Report, Women now make up a strong 48% of collegegraduates who majored in science or engineering. Unfortunately, the percentage of womenpursuing a doctoral degree is only 33%. Percentages are even lower in physical sciences, 23%,and in engineering, percentages drop to 12% as opposed to the 40% of women who earnedM.D.’s last year. 11Why are the numbers so low in the science and engineering fields in colleges and

with each class, I’m not sure I could say Ilooked forward to the students’ final evaluations. But since I planned, prepared, performed eachclass and received interim feedback from my students, peers and senior instructors, I feel Isignificantly improved my skills as an instructor in a short amount of time. And, perhaps moreimportantly, I have implemented a personal teaching model that will continue to help methroughout my career.Bibliography1. Lowman, Joseph.

in Figures 6(a) and 6(b) are actually idealized as aspring-mass system model shown in Figure 6(c) for mathematical analysis. In all the threemodels shown in Figure 6, the mass M has one degree-of-freedom and can vibrate horizontally.The stiffness K represents the stiffness of the column(s), which can be experimentally ortheoretically determined from the following formula: K = 12EI/L3, if the top end of the columndoes not rotate, and 3EI/L3, if the top end of the column does rotate. In these formulae E =modulus of elasticity of the column material, I = moment of inertia of the column cross-section,and L = clear height of the column.
