The Daily Bruin

Do you have a course assignment that could benefit from the power of student choice? Are you wondering how to encourage student ownership and accessibility in regards to demonstrating knowledge?

Faculty members are invited to join Maranda Turner, assistant professor of education, via Zoom tomorrow (Tuesday) from 3 to 4 p.m. for a session on “Embracing Student Choice in Assignments.”

This hour-long conversation, sponsored by Disability and Accessibility Services, will provide a short description of the benefits of implementing student choice and will unpack small steps that allow for increased student accessibility. It will also include a group conversation about how to balance the power of student choice with the demands of feedback and grading.

Questions? Contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu).

Academic research articles are great, but there are a lot of other things out there that can help you with your research project too! Join librarian Jenny Bruxvoort to learn more about using books, background sources, and high-quality information available outside of the library in your research.

The workshop will be held via Zoom at 10 a.m. tomorrow (Tuesday). Register for this workshop and others at this link.

This semester, the library is offering a series of workshops to help the Fox community navigate our increasingly digital library environment. Each workshop will be taught by a different librarian, making these sessions an excellent way to refresh your skills, learn something new, or hear an old concept in a new way.

The Doctor of Physical Therapy Program is seeking participants for a study that aims to assess how a person’s level of activity relates to characteristics of their foot, such as shape and muscle strength.

Participants will be asked to attend one test session lasting about 45 minutes during which their foot characteristics will be measured. Participants will then wear a step counter for the next several days and return for their last session to have the step counter data collected.

If you are interested in learning more about the study or would like to participate, please contact Marcey Keefer Hutchison (gfufootstudy@georgefox.edu) or call at 503-269-2161. We look forward to hearing from you!
