Large classes are increasingly becoming a fact of life on many university campuses, especially with declining resources and increasing student enrollments. Large classes will often present challenges to instructors who may be more familiar with smaller class sizes. Despite these challenges, there are creative ways in which to engage students in large classes to meet student learning outcome goals. Based primarily on the presenter's 2002 edited book, Engaging Large Classes, this session will provide participants with an overview of strategies that have been used by faculty across a range of disciplines to effectively engage students in large classes.

Email (and its electronic counterparts) threaten to overwhelm you, but you have the power to exert your influence and leadership to take charge. In this engaging and highly practical seminar, Dr. Meggin McIntosh, "The PhD of Productivity" will give you specific tips, tools, and techniques for using electronic tools optimally. For example, regarding email, voice mail, electronic flies, and the like, you'll learn to:
- capture the power (e.g., use email & voice mail to communicate in a timely, efficient way as well as to help others respond to you promptly and with the information you need)
- curtail the appearance (e.g., reducing the amount of email that even shows up in your in-box)
- conclude the fate (e.g., determine what stays and what goes)
- control the impact (e.g., although electronic tools allow for 24/7/365 access, you want to set boundaries for that and you'll learn several ways to do so)
- compel the desitny (e.g., ways to store and access all the 'bits & bytes' of information you have)

so often, teaching is a private act between a faculty member and her/his learners. However, when it comes to preparing a dossier for a teaching award or promotion and/or tenure, faculty must document their teaching. Do you find yourself wondering, "How can I demonstrate and document teaching excellent?" During this session participants will engage in conversation about how to document teaching activities, what is needed for promotion and tenure requirements, and how to engage in the scholarship of teaching and learning.

Multiple-choice tests are commonly used to assess learning, but it can be challenging to write good multiple-choice test questions that measure the desired learning objectives. In this session, participants will learn about strengths and limitations of multiple choice tests, consider when to use multiple choice tests, discover how to use Bloom's taxonomy to write multiple choice questions at different cognitive levels, and discuss recommendations for constructing multiple-choice items.

Clinical teachers often lack time to develop teaching skills. Yet, such skills are core to the educational mission, and teaching well takes effort and continual development. This workshop is designed to succinctly review critical theoretical and practical aspects of clinical teaching. Participants will watch and critique a video segment in light of shared principles of effective teaching and will apply practical strategies to commonly encountered problems. A novel version of the "feedback sandwich" will be taught and practiced. Participants will improve their ability to prepare for learners, create safe learning environments, promote active learning and continual feedback, as well as model these behaviors in their own practice.

This session will involve an analysis of the "nuts and bolts" of preparing grants. The skills presented are appropriate for junior faculty who have submitted one or a few grants previously, those who never have submitted a grant (and plan on it in the not too distant future), as well as those who may in the future and would like to know more about it. The idea is to understand what is involved and how it can best work within your busy work life. Questions? maquarle@iupui.edu

Physicians are busy and under great time constraint in the outpatient setting. This is significantly different than the inpatient setting where the patient is in a fixed location. As medicine moves more to the outpatient setting, we need to equip our faclty physicians with skills to help them teach effectively in this clinical venue. A large number of faculty support the education mission by supervising and teaching medical students and housestaff in the outpatient setting. This faculty enrichment program is designed to help them achieve this goal by improving their skill set. It introduces the participants to the one-minute preceptor framework and provides an opportunity for faculty to practice this skill with each other in role plays. this model can be highly effective for faculty in their critical task of assessing what the learner knows and expanding it by adding key teaching points all while efficiently managing time.

The IUPUI student body is diverse, representing 122 countries, many races and ethnicities, with a majority of the entire incoming freshman being first-generation students. How can faculty create curriculum and classroom environments that support success with such a diverse group of students? The Multicultural Teaching and Learning Institute (MTLI) addresses this question.

Women have achieved significant accomplishments in medicine and science, yet comprise a relatively small proportion of faculty, especially at the highest ranks and positions of leadership. As a result, women faculty tend to have smaller professional networks than male colleagues and have fewer role models of success.
The Stepping Stones of Women in Leadership series is intended to create a forum where all faculty and students can learn about professional development through hearing the personal career journeys of successful women.
Join us for lunch and conversation with Mary L. Fisher, PhD, RN, NEA, BC. Dr. Fisher is Professor, Nursing Administration, at the Indiana University School of Nursing and Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at IUPUI.

For Principal Investigators!
Laboratories are not always well-oiled machines; sometimes there are problem people who disrupt the continuity. One bad apple can spoil the whole bunch. Identifying and taking care of problems before they get out of hand are essential to do. Some examples of real personnel problems and how to deal with them (or how they were actually dealth with) will be discussed.

Our postdoctoral mentors help in our getting a faculty position. However, these "coattails" do not last forever. How does one make a name for him/herself in the field while providing proper credit to others? We at the IUSM value a culture where credit is generously given--being inclusive, rather than being exclusive. This has important ramifications in the service mission of the school and for the professional growth of the research faculty member, as well as those s/he mentors. Some ideas meant to help get one's name "out there" will be discussed.
