What are you planning to do with your summer? Faculty responses to such a query typically range from research to relaxing. Come share your summer plans and hear from others about how they use their summer to further their calling as educators and scholars. Guiding questions will be used to help in planning your summer activities. If you’re interested, read “Don’t Waste Your Summer” [http://www.successfulacademic.com/ezines/june272005.htm] and “Finally, Some Time for …” [http://0-proquest.umi.com.catalog.georgefox.edu/pqdweb?did=1072484281&sid=1&Fmt=3&clientId=12023&RQT=309&VName=PQD] in advance of the session.

Professional publication is an increasingly important, but sometimes intimidating, responsibility of university faculty. David Sherwood, editor of the journal Social Work & Christianity for 25 years, will lead a workshop on writing for publication. Participants will review issues such as the types of articles that might be appropriate, selection of journals for submission, writing form and style, the peer review process, using editorial feedback, and appropriate ethics. Participants will also discuss their ideas and questions about writing and publication.

This Faculty Teaching Forum will focus on creating a tool for evaluating your own classes at mid-term. You get to put together, using ideas from your colleagues, a tool that fits the course or courses you teach. You can even add “smiles often” to the criteria!! J Just kidding…. We will share several examples of mid-course evaluations other faculty use. Bring your own and bring your ideas. Tom Johnson will lead the discussion.

This session examines several roots of professors’ authority. The session assumes that expertise and a contract at Fox are necessary but not sufficient, and then focuses on how student goodwill and consent interact with teacher chutzpah (self-authorization), concluding that both these sources of authority are also necessary for sustained classroom work. Participants will consider briefly whether our students’ epistemology is shifting because of the internet. It also considers some of the dangers present of the relational classroom.

Sometimes a class doesn’t go as intended. Even with the best of learning objectives, a class may not go as well as anticipated. It may be time to switch gears, even in the middle of the semester. The changes may be minor or maybe major, but whatever degree of change is necessary it is important to acknowledge these and move forward. Barram will discuss how to do this effectively.
