Abstract

Two issues of "Plantings," are presented. The 1986 issue is a panel discussion that considers the results and future plans of faculty development programs in three Minnesota institutions. In addition to the moderator, Robert Young, of the University of North Dakota, the panel consisted of Norman Noonan (Augsburg College), Chandra Mehrotra (College of St. Scholastica), and Jerry Gaff (Hamline University). In addition, the 34 faculty development programs funded by the foundation are identified by institution. The 1987 newsletter issue consists of an article on stress experienced by faculty members, information on the goals and strategies of the campus faculty development programs, information on approaches that do not work in successful faculty development programs, and an article by Chandra M. N. Mehrotra entitled "Evaluation of Faculty Development Programs Designed to Improve Teaching Effectiveness." Attention is directed to when to evaluate a faculty development program, who should be the evaluators, evaluation approaches, disseminating the findings, and lessons from past faculty development efforts.

3. Students and Faculty: Classroom and Beyond.

Author

North Dakota Univ., Grand Forks. Office of Instructional Development., Davis, Jacqueline D., and Young, Robert E.

Abstract

Projects involving students more directly in research, evaluation, and teaching in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota are described in this newsletter issue. Results of the projects seem to underscore the role that student-faculty relationships play in the growth and development of college students. It is suggested that with more student involvement, personal relationships between student and faculty may be enriched. These relationships develop through the process of sharing work and ideas, both inside the classroom in the exploration of teaching and learning styles, and outside the classroom through research and time together. The following college programs are described: Faculty Visitor Program, St. Olaf College, Minnesota; Student-Mentor Projects, Augustana College, South Dakota; Student Research Fellowships--Bush Program for Faculty Development, Macalester College, Minnesota; Beyond the Classroom, College of St. Thomas, Minnesota; Support for Part-Time Faculty, College of St. Scholastica, Minnesota; and Global Awareness: A Curricular Challenge, St. Cloud University and Moorhead State University, Minnesota.
