=============PROGRAM=================

8:30 - Registration & Continental Breakfast

9:00 -  9:15  Welcome & Introduction -  Dr. Kerry Grant, Vice Provost for
Academic Affiars, University at Buffalo

9:15-10:45  Motivating Students - Dr. Wilbert McKeachie,  Department of
Psychology, University of Michigan

Often we think of motivation only in terms of good grades as rewards for
good performance.  However, a heavy emphasis on grades may be detrimental to
long term motivation.  We need to foster both intrinsic motivation and
self-efficacy if we want life-long learning to develop.

10:45  - 11:00 - Break

11:00  - 12:15   Classroom Techniques: lecture design and delivery - Dr.
Kenneth J. Takeuchi, Chemistry Department, University at Buffalo

In light of the regular usage of lectures in the classroom, this
presentation will discuss some aspects of course design, student
assignments, course syllabus, and classroom activities, with a focus on
lecture design and delivery.  The discussion of lecture design and delivery
will be structured based on four educational goals:  information,
organization, motivation, and learning.

12:15  - 1:15  - Lunch

1:15 - 2:30  The Use of Interrupted Case Method:  A cooperative learning
strategy that works - Dr. Clyde Herreid, Distinguished Teaching Professor,
University at Buffalo

2:30 -  2:45 - Break

2:45 -  4:15 Six Decades: Lessons Learned - Dr. Wilbert McKeachie,
Department of Psychology, University at Michigan

Among the lessons I have learned are that what works for one student may not
work for another, that what works for one class may not work for the next,
and that what works for a class early in the term may not be effective later
in the term.

4:15 - 4:30 Concluding Remarks & Assessment- Dr. Mary Anne Rokitka,
Associate Professor, School of Medicine; Assistant Dean, Undergraduate
Education
