class performance, as well as critiques from students. I identified severalteaching workshops to gain some instructional training and discussed attending them with mydepartment chair. Finally, I showed how attending the conferences has culminated in improvingmy teaching effectiveness.In my quest to be a student-centered instructor, I believe the SET is an essential data source thatcan be used to assess teaching effectiveness. Other data points exist that can complement SETs.For instance, discussions with other faculty members showed that they also found SETs helpful,but they did not use them in isolation. Peer evaluation of instruction was an additionalconsideration in assessing teaching effectiveness.References[1] B. Algozzine, J. Beattie, M
Through University web pages: Implications for a more inclusive communityAbstractThis qualitative study investigates web pages documenting COVID-19 responses from 28universities across the United States. Using grounded theory methodology, we inductivelydeveloped a model of universities' response to the pandemic. Four types of strategies wereidentified from the data and a theoretical model was developed describing (a) causal conditionsthat underlie the strategies for response to the pandemic, (b) the context that influenced thestrategies adopted by the universities, (c) intervening conditions due to the pandemic thatinfluenced strategy development, and (d) potential recommendations to make

the construction ofwind and solar generation all over the country. Large penetration of the new generation forms ischanging the landscape of the power industry and instructors need to incorporate new knowledgeto power system courses. To foster EML, a new module was added to the course to discussrevolutionary economic and market changes in the power industry caused by renewable energy.In the module, students were introduced to: (a) the shrinking revenue that utilities are facingbecause the renewable generation reduces their electricity sales; (b) the business innovations thatare emerging to take advantage of the new generation forms; and (c) cost-benefit analysis ofinvesting a renewable generation station. Moreover, a team project was tied to

proposed mentorshipmodel. Specifically, the questions were designed to gather insights into their perceptions ofmentorship in the research context. The survey was electronically administered via Qualtrics toeleven students enrolled in small private university in Texas. The students selected to participatein the study consisted of both present and past students that participated in research groupsmentored by the faculty advisor. In this regard, survey questions were generated based on recurrentconversations the faculty advisor had with his undergraduate students during research meetings,office hours, or arbitrary settings. The authors note the following limitations of the piloted study:(a) small sample size; (b) self-developed survey instrument; (c

Credit was received for passing a PS or P course; however, a traditional Fresulted in 0 grade points which lowered the student’s GPA. For graduate students, a passing gradeis considered an A or B, and for undergraduate students an A, B, or C grade. As shown in Table3, no graduate student received an FL grade. Pass (P) and Satisfactory (S) grades are primarilyreserved for thesis and dissertation courses. Graduate students performed slightly better during theCOVID pandemic months.For undergraduate students, the percentage of students who passed each semester was relativelyconsistent; see Table 4.
