Evaluation AbstractSelf-assessment has many advantages for student learning. By inducing students to thinkabout their own learning, it encourages metacognitive practices that deepen learning. Ithelps them to gain perspective, by thinking about how assignments fit into the context oftheir education. By itself, self-assessment is a useful formative exercise. While self-assessment is not reliable when students do not understand the material well, it ispossible to combine it with peer assessment or instructor assessment to derive validgrades. There are several approaches to including a self-assessment component in astudent’s grade, on the basis that accurate self-assessment itself demonstrates learninggains. The

The first venue is written communications such as email,daily or weekly research summaries, literature review / discussions, and papers. The secondvenue is oral communication via face-to-face meetings in an office or in the classroom. Thethird venue is demonstrative communication via laboratory training, and side-by-side dataanalysis on computers. Each mode of communication plays a key role in helping students growinto professional researchers with skills in independent problem solving.IntroductionThe New Engineering Educator has many challenging tasks ahead of them as they progresstowards tenure.

! AbstractHomework accomplishes little or nothing. The few student who do complete it benefit but theoverwhelming majority copy (incorrectly often) their classmates’ efforts and think they can buildup a cushion to pass the course. There is a better way – announced quizzes. That is, suggestsome problems that demonstrate the principles taught in the course then give 10-15 minutequizzes frequently (about thirty (30) times a semester) with increasing point value every week.If the quizzes exactly mirror the “suggested problems” the instructor and the student have a goodmeasure of learning and mastery of the subject material.The task and the joy of teaching is to transfer knowledge from the teacher to the student. At itsbest this transfer involves a knowledgeable

This understanding andlinking of tenure and promotion requirements is far from clear-cut and variessignificantly between larger research-oriented universities and smaller teaching-orientedcolleges, and even varies significantly across similar types of institutions. A completelisting of all possible tenure and promotion requirements at all types of institutions is, ofcourse, not feasible within a single paper.

Unfortunately, most universityfaculty have not had any formal training on classroom management. Consequently, manyare left on their own to figure out how to competently teach and manage their students’behavior and performance1. Often, faculty resort to trial and error experimentation, withsome imitating the techniques used by experienced colleagues or former instructors.Fortunately, successful classroom management skills can be learned and developed.

This paper presents the typical requirements at GannonUniversity, Erie, PA in each of the above mentioned areas. A comparison will also be made withsix others teaching-based institutions. Requirements at Gannon University have changed over theyears from no scholarship requirements before the 1980s to significant scholarly activityrequirements today. Faculty members rely on student evaluations conducted at the end of eachsemester and once a year peer evaluation to satisfy teaching requirements. At GannonUniversity, the Boyer’s model of scholarship was adopted around 2000 to satisfy scholarshiprequirements.New faculty starting
