Brown Bag Lunch
Series for First Year Students!
The office of Student Services is sponsoring a
series of lunch-time workshops designed to help in you succeed in your
first semester and beyond. There is no need to R.S.V.P. If you have
questions, please feel free to contact Chris
Matheny or stop by the Office of Student Services.
I. De-Bunking the Socratic Method
12:00 noon, Wednesday , September 23
Professors Katherine Baker, Sheldon
Nahmod, and Margaret Stewart will each discuss how they use the Socratic
Method. They will also talk about what they hope to get out of using
the Socratic Method, and give tips on how to prepare for Socratic questioning.
In short, they will answer the age-old question - "I've read the material,
so why can't I answer the questions?"
II. Exam Preparation Workshop I
12:00 noon , Wednesday, October 28
Professors Ralph Brill, Harold Krent,
and Peggie Smith will talk about what students should be doing from the
midpoint of the semester forward to prepare for their final exams.
This workshop will focus on building an analytical framework for complex
material. Students will be given tips on how to synthesize material,
how to identify themes in classes, and how to begin organizing that material.
III. Exam Preparation Workshop II
12:00 noon, Monday, November 16
Professor Susan Adams will present
practical skills to assist students in writing a "good" exam answer.
She will outline these concepts using examples from several of the first
year courses. Other faculty members, including Professor Sarah Harding,
will discuss their perspectives on exam grading, and will provide some
exam "do's and don'ts" from past exams.
Both day and evening division students are welcome
to attend. The workshops will be videotaped and available for checkout
for those who are unable to attend. Please see future issues of The
Record for more information.
