outreach program. Every semester he makes time to consult with students (and faculty) who want to do outreach. Students’ enthusiasm and motivation waxes and wanes and they may not always have the time to implement their ideas, so Mr. Zwickel tries to be encouraging and to serve as both a sounding board and a reality check. When Mr. Zwickel is approached by someone interested in launching a new outreach program, he arranges for a meeting to discuss our mutual goals. Mr. Zwickel gives them examples of presenter’s manuals and a copy of The Outreach Program Creation Process, which they go through line by line.Steven B. Zwickel 1HOW DO

The assessment plan strategy must include elements of robustness which would make the resultsfrom implementation of the plan as insensitive as possible and hence more reliable to unavoidablevariations.

The more intuitive the better since time taken to learn the software is time taken from the course. Page 6.1135.1 B) Simple to Use: Problem setup should take only a few minutes.
