This will involve measuring how well the candidate is ableto: solve problems s/he might have encountered with creative insight and the generationof multiple solution alternatives, Fig. 1.

higher thetemperature, the more vibration occurs that allows the atoms to let the diffusant through. Forinstance, arsenic in silicon will not diffuse at room temperature and will diffuse only a fewmicrometers after 3 hours at 1000oC. Clearly, solid state diffusion plays a major role in manyfacets of our lives.The odor of a skunk reaching our nose (sensor for smell), even when there is no wind comingfrom that direction immediately brings to mind the diffusion of gases. The time to detect theodor at room temperature over a 10 meter distance might be as long as ten seconds. If diffusionof gaseous molecular species is said to proceed at velocities of up to 103 m/s, why do we notsmell things almost instantaneously? As in the case of solids, the atoms

Thus, new professors are now expected to do both,and do them well. And who are the judges? They are generally professors who survived theradical changes of the 60’s and 70’s, changes that saw publication as the only measure ofsuccess.Ernest Boyer’s work, Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate2 became Page 3.300.1prominent as the 90’s began, just when universities were looking at the role of teaching andpedagogy in the scholarly domain

The survey asked about their learningexperiences at GSU and solicited suggestions for making the learning atmosphere and ultimatelytheir employment upon graduation more gender equitable.

Bojcetic et al.’s method allows for more refined gradingcriteria, grading features, and sketches in addition to the basic geometry [8]. Overall, thedeveloped automated grading systems speed up the grading time for faculty, allowing for morehomework. Still, they do not provide quick feedback, allowing students to learn by correctingtheir mistakes. Having rapid feedback was the motivation for developing an email-based gradingsystem.Program

This is also the reigning difference between Tajfel’s[14] Social Identity Theory and Turner’s [18] Self-Categorization Theory; where the former“suggests a continuum of interpersonal versus intergroup behavior,” the latter “pronounces thatboth—social and personal identity processes—may be at work simultaneously” [15].
