By Phillip Wankat and Frank Oreovicz When thinking back on our past, we often have deeper memories of planned events—whether they be weddings or graduations or birthday parties—that serve as important mil estones in our development. You can provide your students with such a "marker event" in their education—and help them remember your class long after the lectures have faded into oblivion—by including course projects. Projects allow students to actually design or build something, which often motivates them to go well beyond what is required. Projects can last a week, an entire semester, or even longer, and can be tailored to all levels, from freshmen to graduate students. Grading the better projects is almost a pleasure because of their quality, and students are often very proud of results. Soft skills like teamwork and communication also are put to use, making it easier to satisfy ABET criteria. Of course, students have been known to procrastinate—barely working on the project until the deadline, then burning the midnight oil to produce a result that receives a generous C. However, the positives far outweigh the negatives. Here are some suggestions for ensuring a successful project Consider team projects, rather than individual ones. They allow talent to be spread out, as well as exposing students to working in diverse groups. More significant problems can be tackled, plus, there are fewer projects to grade!

"I need to get these kids excited by science," says Campbell, who teaches a program for gifted students. "I know that if they don't realize that science can really 'wow' them, there's the danger that they'll be bored to death." He organizes his study around hands-on activities and makes a point of grounding scientific concepts in real-life experience. Campbell especially likes a unit on simple machines because it demonstrates how easy it is to find science in familiar objects. He asks students to take apart broken appliancesan assignment any kid loves. "Anything that moves has to include some or all of the simple machines," says Campbell. "Once you understand them and how they work, you've demystified basic mechanics and physics." The six simple machines have been part of the civilized world for a long time, but if you need a refresher course on them, you can turn for help to two books written for readers of all ages:

All of the assignments are done in groups, except for four: the post-it flipbook, final project story idea, forward kinematic walks, and the hierarchical figure design. The remaining assignments: stick figure animations simple Infini-D tasks morphing hierarchical figure animation textures, lighting and camera positioning final project models sounds first draft of animation and camera motion final draft of animation and camera motion lighting and rendering compositing are all 2-person group projects (aside from the final project, which 3-5 students complete). In addition, we have a weekly group critique of the students' work in which the whole class participates. Many of the grouped assignments still require two projects to be handed in with a single person responsible for each. In this sense, the students do not necessarily need to work in a group, but do so because they're told it's required. In general, the reasons we have students work in groups is:

Now, though, the deadline for the class projects has arrived, and the student teams must demonstrate that their varied gizmos function as planned. It’s time for what their professor, C. Fred Driscoll, describes as “general panic,” as the physics and engineering seniors’ “main event” gets under way. It’s week 10 of a class divided into five weeks of studying data-acquisition and control using microprocessors, then five weeks of working in teams to develop, build and demonstrate a device of their choosing.

Home Join Us/Give Now About Us New ... David West Station for Holistic Management A New Path Teaching Children about Holistic Management by Peggy Maddox Peggy Maddox with the Ozona third-grade class (a.k.a. the human pump) learning about windmills. Having A Say In my 17 years in the public schools, I found that my greatest successes came when the students had a say in what they wanted to learn. As a family practicing Holistic Management, I know that when Joe, my husband, made a decision to take me and our son, Dalton, to our first Holistic Management course, he set the foundation that enabled us to make all the changes we needed in order to continue ranching as a family Participation is Key When I was teaching public school students, I encouraged my students to look beyond the present and pressed them to become life-long learners and develop their capacity to wonder. The best way to accomplish this objective is to give the students opportunities for hands-on experiences. As they have experiences where learning is fun and provides meaning to their lives, then they will want to continue to replicate those experiences later in life. One group of my students began a project to turn a vacant lot into a native plant garden. It grew into a school-wide outdoor classroom. They learned all about the place where they lived, how it had been a prairie. They came to value their place. I found that all my students loved being in this outdoor classroom. Discipline problems disappeared and creativity abounded. Interdisciplinary curriculum and hands-on activities, which come easily outdoors, enhanced their learning.

Poynter Center Newsletter Number 21, Winter 1997 Contents "Religion, Ethnography, Professional Life" Heading South (to Third Street) Research ethics and conflict resolution Facing mortality in Paoli, Indiana ... Coming attractions for spring "Religion, Ethnography, Professional Life" The Poynter Center has received a two-year grant from the Lilly Endowment to fund a project entitled "Religion, Ethnography and Professional Life." The project will explore the connections among theology, religious traditions and metaphors, and professional values, extending a research paradigm that was developed with funding from previous Lilly grants. It will produce three books. Lilly grants have funded two related projects. The first brought together a group of scholars in 1991-92 to explore the role of religious belief in American moral discourse and the development of a new research paradigm that combined ethnographic description with normative assessment. The successor project, "Religion, Morality and the Professions in America," continued that line of inquiry, sponsoring a three-year seminar whose participants conducted independent research in business, law, journalism, medicine and scientific research. The current project's co-investigators will conduct two studies. David H. Smith's work will consist of a theologically informed critique of the ethos of physicians in general medical practice and other professionals. Smith will interview health care providers and members of the clergy, seeking information about the roles played by religious or spiritual beliefs and professional values as adult patients confront death. Also of interest will be the impact on care providers of patients' beliefs.

In Other News The Boss I caught some of the Bruce Springsteen interview on Charlie Rose last night and, man, did it bring back some memories for me. They opened the show with footage of various Springsteen concerts and seeing it brought home for me again what a great showman Springsteen is and how much I used to love his music. It's been a long time since I've heard those songs and I'd forgotten how good they were. I wasn't always a Springsteen fan. In fact, for a long time I was the anti-Springsteen. I hated him because everyone else loved him. Too trendy, too done, too follow the crowd. Too stupid, me, because I was missing out. It was the same Derek I mentioned here a few weeks back who helped turn my head around. This was back during my drinking days, when Derek and I had a routine where we'd go to his place after classes and drink many beers, watch Jeopardy , and he'd play the Born in the USA album, loudly and incessantly. At first I begged him to stop, sincerely explaining that Springsteen sucked and Derek was a mindless drone for thinking otherwise. Derek's response? Turn it up. This went on for so long that, quite involuntarily, I learned the words, and then came the horrific day when I found myself singing along. Right along about this time Mary Morrow dumped me for another guy, so I drowned my sorrows in vodka tonics at home and listened to one particular song on one of my roommate's albums. It bothered me that it was Springsteen, but Derek had already started breaking me down and the song just spoke to me so eloquently of the pain I was feeling that I was willing to make an exception. And so I'd get home from work at 2 a.m., drink five or six vodka tonics, and listen to
