Tbers, This is a reminder that the first meeting of the Teaching Breakfast will be tomorrow Feb. 2, at 8 am in Morris Hall. The topic for this meeting has changed (my jury duty status prevented me from being able to prepare what I previously had planned). We will be discussing , "Helping Faculty Cope With Workload." I suspect newer faculty might be apprehensive about doing things in their courses that save them time for fear it may be perceived as diminishing the experience in some way. This doesn't have to be the case. Many of us have found time savers without compromising our course. What are these things? Think about the things you do (big or small) that help you cope with your workload (not sleeping is not acceptable). For example, I tell my students that I don't look at my email throughout the day (like some seem to expect.) I tell them they should not expect responses from me throughout the day and if they have an emergency that needs me to respond more quickly, they should come to my office or call me. It changes students expectations for email, and saves me sometime. Hope to see you tomorrow. Mr. James B.
