At this workshop, we’ll explore the causes of plagiarism and strategies faculty can use to guide students in working ethically with sources in the disciplines. We will also reflect on where in our teaching practices we highlight approaches to writing ethics. 2010-02-12 2000-01-01T10:30:00Z 25 false 333 WID Fulwiler Room, 302 Bailey/Howe Library false true 2 2010-02-12 2000-01-01T09:00:00Z 2009-12-04T17:03:56Z 28 false 2010-02-02T17:12:35Z Dates: February 17, March 3.

Informal writing offers students the chance to explore concepts, make connections, and communicate with instructors. At this workshop, we’ll explore ways instructors can use informal writing techniques to encourage students to work with key course concepts and to learn more about students’ progress in the course—without substantially adding to grading or responding loads. 2010-02-18 2000-01-01T17:30:00Z 25 false 334 WID Fulwiler Room, 302 Bailey/Howe Library false true 2010-02-18 2000-01-01T16:00:00Z 2009-12-04T17:06:28Z 28 false 2010-02-02T17:14:17Z Join us for a lively discussion on illuminating and expanding our teaching using Zull's writing on brain-based learning as a guide.

Discuss with VACC staff how the advanced computational services at UVM, including the unique resources of the 7.1 Teraflop "BlueMoon" High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster, can "supercharge" existing work or add value to an upcoming proposal. The first half of the seminar will be used as a round table to discuss current research needs and the second will be used to develop solutions to common problems. If you cannot make this workshop or another in the CTL series, VACC also supports individual consultations as time permits. Contact Andi Elledge 656-8867 with any questions or email vacc@uvm.edu.

We’ll view Writing Across Borders, a short film featuring international student writers and faculty across campus. Our conversation will explore how cultural expectations frame our writing expectations, and how assignments and assessments are also shaped by culture.

This workshop discusses strategies to create an engaging classroom climate and facilitation techniques to constructively address conflict when it arises and reach students who are reluctant to reflect deeply about the issues. Faculty who teach D1 and D2 courses are encouraged to attend and share strategies with their colleagues.
