Hello-
Here are a few events happening at DCAL in the next few weeks:
Institute for Writing and Rhetoric Workshop-Reading as Writing: Teaching Reading in Writing Courses, 12:30pm - 2:00pm, Thursday, April 6, 2017
Like writing, reading involves different demands, assumptions, and strategies in different contexts; reading is entangled with writing as two sides to the same coin. This session will explore some current research on the essential reading-writing relationship at the college level and some strategies for working with students. Based on sample readings participants bring to the workshop, we will ask ourselves: what purposes do our assigned readings serve? What “kind” of reader do we expect and how we might help that reader to develop?
Lunch will be provided, please register here: http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/3242938
Early Course Evaluations to Improve Learning & Teaching, 12:15pm - 1:30pm, Tuesday, April 11, 2017
Getting student feedback early in the term has many benefits: it can allow you to identify problems that might otherwise be invisible to you and gives you an opportunity to engage your students in a discussion about how things are going. You will learn about different types of midterm evaluations and craft specific questions for your course. This workshop intended only for faculty teaching this term. This session will be facilitated by Erin DeSilva and Adam Nemeroff (Educational Technologies).
Lunch will be provided, please register here: http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/3216857
Promoting Ethical Development in College Students, 12:45pm - 2:00pm, Monday, April 17, 2017
How can professors help their students develop ethical decision-making skills? Join psychologists Thomas and Lori Plante in a discussion of the findings from their recent book, Graduating with Honor: Best Practices to Promote Ethical Development in College Students. Thomas and Lori wrote the book while on sabbatical at the Dartmouth Ethics Institute. Co-sponsored by the Institute for the Study of Applied and Professional Ethics
