Science On The Great Plains: The History Of Physics And Astronomy At The University Of Nebraska-Lincoln, M. Eugene Rudd

M. Eugene Rudd Publications

The year 1988 marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Department of Physics at the University of Nebraska. While the year passed without fanfare in the department, DuaneJaecks, one of the members of the faculty, suggested to the author that it would be a good time to write a history of what is now the Department of Physics and Astronomy. He not only provided the initial impetus for the project, but has also given it his continual help and encouragement. While the initial plan was to write only a brief, informal departmental history, the project, like Topsy, grew. …

Building Confidence And Community In The Classroom, J. Dennis Huston

Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives

This national award winner shares his thoughts about encouraging students to think for themselves.

The Market For Teaching Scholars, Laurie Richlin

Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives

To what extent will the hiring institutions accept a candidate whose devotion is to teaching? The answer depends greatly on the type of institution.

Tales Told Out Of School: Women's Reflections On Their Undergraduate Experience, Blythe Clinchy

Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives

Where does learning really occur? In the classroom? Or out of it? The answer may be different for different learners and that has implications for our ways of teaching.

Whatever Happened To The Faculty?, Jack H. Schuster

Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives

Once assumed to be an enclave of like-minded scholars, the academy is becoming more and more segmented. The demographics of the students are changing as are those of the faculty. What will be the impact of those changes on the face of the academy in the next decade and beyond?

Good Teaching: A Matter Of Living The Mystery, Parker J. Palmer

Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives

Good teaching cannot be equated with technique. It comes from the integrity of the teacher, from his or her relation to the subject or the student, from the capricious chemistry of it all. The author muses about how to give voice to the questions the students won’t ask but which probably lie on the cutting edge of their learning.

Making Sense (And Use) Of Written Student Comments, Karron G. Lewis

Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives

Student evaluations of teaching are more and more common. Many include a baffling array of student comments along with scaled items. To get the most out of these rich data requires some planning and careful analysis.

Academic Culture: The Hidden Curriculum, Maurianne Adams

Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives

There is an unspoken, unacknowledged set of cultural norms which govern the conduct of the players in the academy. When non-traditional students enter the academy, they may inadvertently run afoul of those norms. By recognizing them ourselves, we may be able to make the experience of these students a better one.

The Teaching Portfolio, Peter Seldin, Linda Amis

Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives

One of the best ideas about the evaluation of teaching to come along in recent years is the teaching portfolio, which allows the individual instructor to create a well-documented history of his or her own teaching efforts and the thinking which undergirds them.
