"Getting the Most out of Workshops"
Time: 11:00 AM
Location: Hill 705
Abstract: We will discuss how to use the workshop period most effectively: getting students to work, guiding students through the problems, and getting them to craft good write-ups. This will be of particular interest to TAs, but aspects of workshop design will come up.

"Discussion: Designing Effective Exams"
Time: 11:00 AM
Location: Hill 705
Abstract: Perhaps late for the first midterm, but in time for the second, we will discuss what makes for a good exam. From question selection to overall length, many things can go wrong without our notice (until we find three-quarters of the class has failed). Come ready to discuss your design parameters, strategies, and rules of thumb for making quality exams.

Abstract: We will be discussing the following questions:
What can we reasonably expect from students starting in any given class? What should we do when they cannot meet those expectations? How do we decide how much review is enough, and at what point(s) in the course to provide it?
