and Associate Professor, English
Brown
Bag Lunch and Discussion:
"Damn Rocks and Hurricanes": Staying the Course as an Administrator-Scholar
Laura
Davis will discuss her work as a textual editor for the Cambridge
Edition of the Works of Joseph Conrad. As she describes the process
of textual editing, Professor Davis will talk about strategies she
uses to balance the responsibilities of being an administrator-scholar.
Taking strength from the spirit of Conrad's work, she will discuss
how damming the obstacles (the sailor's "rocks and hurricanes") can
be invigorating. Professor Davis also finds inspiration by comparing
textual editing, in her mind, to the evidence-gathering and case-making
of a homicide detective or forensic anthropologist (she is an aficionado
of police and courtroom dramas). She also finds collaborative relationships
energizing and sustaining and uses email to great advantage to support
those relationships and meet deadlines.

Timothy
Gallagher, Sociology
"Using Teaching Evaluations to Improve Your Teaching"
This
workshop will present a unique way of interpreting course evaluations,
developed by Professor Gallagher. The workshop will begin with a
brief presentation of Professor Gallagher's research followed by
discussion. Participants are asked to read his article
in advance.
Participants then will enter data from their own course evaluations
to produce a graph (Note: you must bring at least two
semesters of evaluations from the same course to produce
a graph which reflects change in teaching over time; three
semesters would be even better). Please bring a 3.5" diskette
to save as a PowerPoint file. You need not know PowerPoint, although
competence in MS windows is required. The workshop will conclude
with discussion of individual results.
When:
To be announced Fall semester 2000.
Where: Moulton Hall
Registration:
please contact Judy Harrington, 672-1902 or jharring@lms.kent.edu
