SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion:  Rachel Carson\, Silent Spring
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Carson\nSelections from Silent Spring (1962)\nChapters 1-3\nChapters 16-17 \nNo expertise or prerequisites are required. We only ask that you read the selected texts. \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send Max Yela an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later). He will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, Sept. 25. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, Sept. 25\, you will receive an email from him with an automatic password-protected URL. Please use that URL to join the session (you will of course need to use a computer with a microphone and a video camera in it — if you want to be seen\, that is). When you join\, you will be placed in a waiting room that Max will be monitoring to allow attendees into the session. Only those he has emailed will be allowed into the session. This process is intended to maximize the security of the meeting. \nThese discussions are free and open to the public. \nPart of the purpose of the Great Books Roundtable Discussions is to illustrate the pedagogical method of shared inquiry. Another purpose is to disseminate an understanding and appreciation of the philosophy of great books education on the 51ÁÔÆæ campus. It was the assertion of the former Great Books Program that its methodology and philosophical approach toward the study of foreign languages\, mathematics\, history\, and great books offers a challenging\, meaningful\, and useful Liberal Arts education. \nSpecial Collections serves as host for the Roundtable Discussions in support of these educational goals. Special Collections’ programs\, services\, and policy of free\, open\, and equal access to all its collections have close affinities to the former Great Books Program’s vision of a vigorous Liberal Arts education and its method of shared inquiry. \nMore information on the program can be found on the Special Collections Great Books Roundtable Discussions webpage.

SUMMARY:Information Literacy Research Assignment Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Research assignments serve an important role in college courses. Tasks like selecting and evaluating additional sources of information\, summarizing new information and comparing it to core course concepts all have the potential to build learning. However\, the goals of a research assignment are often not clear to our students. Clear and transparent goals help students to reflect on their effort and take control of their own learning. They are also essential for students to articulate how they approached their learning so they can apply or adjust the same strategies in future assignments. \nIn this workshop\, instructors will identify areas in which students struggle to reach the expected research outcomes in their course. Once these targets are clear\, participants will workshop strategies for balancing the productive struggle we want students to experience in authentic research tasks with the transparency required for students to understand and value the research as a learning process. \nThe workshop will be held in W194/Room A\, Golda Meir Library. \nRegistration Link  Please use the form to RSVP by Tuesday\, September 24\, 2024. \nContact Kristin Woodward (kristinw@uwm.edu) for additional details or to request accommodations.
