Any faculty development activity must take into consideration the characteristics of its audience. New faculty members tend to be highly motivated and accomplished professionals. These are individuals who have not only completed a Ph.D. but also have chosen to go against the grain and pursue an academic position when positions in industry abound and generally pay better [3]. Given these characteristics, a faculty development curriculum should be designed to be challenging and stimulating. This provides

used to develop lifelong learning skills. We refer to these four required courses as the McMaster Problem Solving (MPS) program[5] . Skill in self assessment is developed first through a 4 to 6 hour workshop, held about week three, in the sophomore course. Self assessment is applied in four other elements in our curriculum: reflective journal writing, resume writing, personal enrichment projects and as part of the grade in courses. Consistent with the principles of assessment, our first task is to publish goals and criteria for the skill. For self assessment, Table 1 gives example goals, criteria and illustrates assessment activities.

The needs of the audience and the localresource requirements must be considered carefully to make the seminar a success. An outline ofhow to give a web seminar was given based on our experience developing a web seminar fromconcept through implementation.
