The chief drawback of engaging in this sustained encounter wasthe huge time commitment required of both parties. Collaborative activities included visits,biweekly meetings, curriculum development, and professional development. Investing less timein these activities would have undoubtedly decreased the success of the partnership.Conclusion and Next StepsIn the future, we plan to grow both the number of partnerships and the

In CME, 10 of 11 responding faculty(both junior and senior faculty) indicated they were observed by another faculty member at leastonce during the previous semester. Of responding faculty in GENE, however, only 5 of 11responding faculty stated they were observed at least one time. Interestingly, of the 5 positiveresponses in GENE, none were junior faculty members. This result suggests that CME’s morestructured classroom observation program increases opportunities for feedback and ensures eachjunior faculty member is observed.

Since then, the concentration has surpassed 400 parts permillion and is continuing to increase [2].

Co-locating engineering and businesscollections and librarians might be a better way to support research in both disciplines.We recognize that such changes are not easily made and would not fit the needs of everyinstitution. Proximity alone is also not enough to ensure collaboration. On the individual level,subject specialist librarians must seek opportunities to connect with colleagues.

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to evidence-based learning strategies and to help students become self-regulated learners, capable of achieving their full academic potential. In ENR 199, students reflect upon the fundamental nature of learning and what types of learning activities best facilitate their learning process. In addition, students explore topics related to achievement, motivation and a growth mindset. The goal of this course is to help students not only develop a deeper understanding of these topics but learn ways that the strategies and tools discussed in class
