The first class meeting seemed to go smoothly enough. I went in, introduced myself, and ran through the course syllabus and calendar. The students seemed pretty much like the students I taught at State U--maybe a little older. They asked the same questions about how long the papers should be and which books to buy. They made no comments about the journal assignment for the next class. They filled out my survey readily enough. In fact, the class ended twenty minutes early.
In my eight years of teaching at State U, I never saw anything like the survey responses I …

The Case Of The Missed Exam, Emily C. Wadsworth
The Case Of The Missed Exam, Emily C. Wadsworth
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
Professor Oliver W. Holmes has taught for many years and has come to the conclusion that the students in his American Government general education course do their best work if he is very precise about his expectations of them. In line with this philosophy, Professor Holmes requires that everyone take the final examination on the day that it is scheduled. The only excuse for missing the examination is an illness that requires a trip to the doctor. Thus, he will give a make-up final exam only if the student brings in a doctor's excuse.
Use of the Case entitled ''Missed …

Section I: The Context For Faculty, Instructional, And Organizational Development
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
Because faculty, instructional and organizational development is still a relatively new area, it has undergone dramatic changes not only in the last fifteen years but even in the last two or three years. As the focus on undergraduate education becomes more prevalent, as budgets wax and wane, and as the demographics of the academic population change, it is important that we stay abreast of the latest research, discussion, and information in the field. Thus, it is appropriate that the volume begins with a focus on the context in which we do our work. What is happening in faculty development? What …

Today is the second day of five one-hour tutorials on The Case of the Fainting Soccer Player. The six first-year medical students have been struggling to explain the sequence of events experienced by the 17 year old woman in the case who collapses while playing soccer with subsequent ventricular fibrillation and coma. An older female student, Pat, had spoken little during the first 15 minutes of discussion as the group alternately considered the role of brain and heart in the patient's collapse. Finally, Pat quietly commented.

What Tenure Files Can Reveal To Us About Evaluation Of Teaching Practices: Implications For Instructional/Faculty Developers, David Way
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
This article describes a study that examined the way teaching is evaluated for tenure and promotion at Cornell University. After reviewing tenure files from several different colleges in the university and interviewing deans in the colleges, the author reported great variation among colleges in the kind of information that is collected and retained in tenure files. In addition to providing the results of the analysis of the files, the author identifies recommendations that were made based on the findings and discusses the role of instructional/faculty developers in assisting faculty in the documentation of their teaching.
