October 5, 2004 at 12:00 pmIgnoring the Obvious: The Search for the Perfect Comps
Faculty tell how for years, the computer science department was stuck between two unsatisfactory choices for comps: individual projects that required too much faculty time, and a test/talk combination that failed to integrate the theory and practice of the discipline. In this discussion they will tell the story of how dropping some cherished assumptions and adjusting some priorities led inexorably to an odd new comps system that has been, in its short life, fabulously successful from both the student and the faculty perspective.

Civic Engagement Workshop
June 11, 2004 at 9:00 amLTC/ACT: Civic Engagement Course Revision workshop
Friday, June 11, 9 am-12:30 pm
The LTC and ACT co-sponsored a civic engagement course revision workshop on June 11. Lunch and a small stipend was available to faculty who attended the workshop. The main purpose of this workshop was to help faculty design a civic engagement (including service-learning and community-based teaching/research) section of a specific course, including integrating this aspect of the course with the rest of the course design and assessing it. This workshop was for faculty who have a particular course (or courses) in mind in which they want to introduce a civic engagement component. The workshop was designed around these courses. If you were unavailable on June 11, another, similar half-day workshop will probably be held during the first part of the December break. Please notify Jennifer Cox Johnson (jcoxjohn@carleton.edu or x 4192) if you are interested in a future workshop.
