Looking to spend a semester in a beautiful location surrounding by cultural jewels and meeting new people? Have you ever looked at the Fulbright Scholar Program? Proposals for the next round are due February 18 so now is the time to begin putting your submission together. Here is a quote from a recent article you might want to read, "We are not far from the day when a student, finding unsatisfactory reviews of a faculty member on ratemyprofessors.com, will choose to take a class through open courseware online and then ask his home institution to assess him." During the recent POD Network conference in St. Louis, I attended a session that promised to help us understand what the Millennials are expecting out of college. One of the most surprising results from the data said that they realize that they need to learn (or relearn) how to study in a different way than they did while attending high school. So do you teach your students how to properly use Google to do research? Looking forward to the retention workshop this coming Monday.
