As you can see from the e-mail trail below, there is space at the Oct 16-17 Rich Felder workshop for a few Ph.D. students interested in a career in academia. Attendance at this workshop is by invitation only. If you have a student who might be interested in attending, please send an e-mail with the student's name and e-mail address to Marsha Freeland (mjfreeland@purdue.edu<mailto:mjfreeland@purdue.edu>) . Marsha will send students individual invitations until the workshop is full. Several of our students were invited to attend the workshop Prof. Felder presented in March 2012. Other interested students were placed on a wait list. Those students who were wait listed in March have already been invited to the October 16-17 event. A list of students who attended the March workshop and those who were on the wait list is attached. Thank you for helping our students take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Regards, Audeen From: Freeland, Marsha J Sent: Friday, October 05, 2012 3:09 PM To: Fentiman, Audeen W Cc: Lahner, Julie A; Kokini, Klod Subject: FW: Felder Workshop Announcement Dear Audeen, As you'll see below, we've invited Dr. Felder and Dr. Brent back for another teaching workshop this fall and find that there is space for about 10 more participants. If you would like to send me names of senior PhD students or post-docs who are considering careers in academia, I'd be happy to invite them. If you contact the grad chairs for these names, it would be great if you could let them know to just send names of people that might be interested and let us do the inviting, as we are trying to monitor the remaining spaces in order to achieve a good mix of backgrounds and experience. Thanks, Marsha MESSAGE SENT TO FACULTY ANNOUNCING THE FELDER WORKSHOP Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to invite you to a workshop to be presented by nationally known experts, Dr. Richard Felder, Hoechst Celanese Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University and Dr. Rebecca Brent. We are fortunate to have them back at Purdue for a 1 ½ day workshop entitled "Effective College Teaching" on October 16, 8:30am-4:30pm and October 17, 8:30am-12:00 noon, in the East and West Faculty Lounges of the Purdue Memorial Union. Some of the questions the workshop will address are: * How should I plan a course? How can I get it off to a good start? * What do I need to do to be an effective educator? * How can I get students actively involved in learning, even if there are 200 in the class? * How can new faculty members become fully effective in teaching and productive in research in 1-2 years instead of the usual 4-5 years? Last spring, the College of Engineering faculty who participated gave the workshop excellent evaluations. Some examples of what they said are:
"Enthusiastic, practical, straightforward, fun!"
"This workshop is excellent and a great motivator to refresh our teaching-a renewal experience."
"This class made me excited to start teaching and designing effective classes!! Thanks!"
"I think it was great and I learned a lot. I am also inspired to do things differently in class."
I look forward to your participation in this excellent opportunity. With warm regards, Klod Klod Kokini Professor of Mechanical Engineering Associate Dean for Academic Affairs College of Engineering Purdue University (765) 494-5349 -
