Coffee week of 11/12/12

I'll be in the LSBE lobby area from 8:30-9:30am on Friday (11/16/12).  Anyone is welcome to join me for discussion.

Update: Faculty Discussion Group

I've updated the list of dates that Griggs is open for faculty -- I had missed a page of dates when I first listed them on the blog (see 10/18 post). 

My coffee hours are separate from these Griggs dates, so I typically will not be at Griggs during the faculty time.  This is a chance for faculty to get together and discuss items with each other.  I'm happy to attend from time to time if a group has something on their minds they'd like to discuss with me.  Just let me know and I'll work it into my calendar.

Please spread the word about Griggs being open.

Coffee week of 11/5/12

This week I'll start changing my location across campus more.  This Friday (11/9) I'll be at the Sports and Health Center building in the seating area overlooking the ice from 9-10am.  Please join me for discussion.

Coffee week of 10/22/12

I had scheduled my coffee hour this week Wednesday from 9-10am.  That happens to coincide with the first day of the Griggs open discussion hours, so I'll be in Griggs this week.

Calendar: May term

Thank you to all who have commented on the calendar change.  One comment I've seen several times talks about a concern of having to offer May term courses over 4 weeks that fit a 3 week schedule.  You may offer various lengths of courses during the May term as appropriate to the credits of the course and the format.  We currently have 2 week courses (2 credits) offered in the 3 week session.  A 3 credit course could continue to be offered in a 3 week period even with the proposed calendar change.  The change would just open up the option of 4 weeks to accommodate some of the higher credit courses.

Faculty Discussion Group

We have reserved Griggs Center once a week for the rest of the semester as a location for faculty to come to socialize and discuss topics of interest.  Feel free to bring along your coffee or breakfast.  The dates are listed below, so mark your calendars.  The first one is next week.

Coffee week of 10/15/12
