=============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
