The Institute will be offering Lunchtime seminars and presentations on topics to enhance teaching and learning. The seminars provide an opportunity to gather with colleagues to listen, discuss, comment, interact, and reflect on a number of topics. They are organized on a first-come, first-served basis. Seminars are from 11:15 a.m. to 1:10 p.m. All seminars will be held in the John W. Rowe Center for Undergraduate Education (ROWE), Room 321.
A boxed lunch will be provided. If you have special dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten free, or both) please e-mail Stacey Valliere.
The seminars are available to faculty, graduate students, and professional staff. Reservations are required and are accepted on a first-come-first serve basis. If you have signed up and are not able to attend, your colleagues would appreciate it if you let us know, as we often have waiting lists. Feedback from you is also important. It will help us focus as well as plan a more diverse program.
Blogging and the Academic Essay

I would like to share how I use a blogging platform to support the reading, discussion, and writing that goes on in the class. Students use responses to prompts, and their responses to one another, as feeder assignments that help them to craft a final term paper.
