Dr. Daphne Gill, Department of Biomedical Sciences will give a seminar
entitled "Lab Rats Speak Out: Designing a behavioural test battery for
assessing autism-like symptoms in rodents" on Tuesday, January 29 at
1:30 pm in AVC, Lecture Theatre "C".
Everyone is welcome.
Please bring your lunch and join Dr. Ed MacDonald (History) next Thursday,
January 31 from 11:30 am-12:20 pm in the Faculty Lounge in the Main
Building for a brown-bag lunch discussion of best practices in selecting
students for class group work.
We often talk about the pedagogical thinking behind group work, and we
occasionally discuss how best to evaluate individual group members for what
is essentially communal work. But we seldom talk about a related aspect of
group work, the assembling of the groups themselves. How do we select group
members? Randomly? By perceived abilities? Congruent schedules?
Compatibility? What is the optimal size? How big is too big? Let's compare
notes and see if we can come up with some best practice principles.
Questions? Email gwandio@upei.ca at the Faculty Development Office. We
hope to see you next week!
Get out of the cold and into the rink for some great AUS hockey.

Our campus food bank is busy at the beginning of a term as students put
financial resources into texts and other school supplies.
So while our food bank was full in early January, more recently it is looking bare.
Tuna, peanut butter, cereal, crackers, salt, pasta, and sauces, granola bars
and treats ... all are needed these days.
Also we have an offer of eggs but have been asked to collect egg cartons.
Why not drop off your empty cartons so someone else can have a full one?
Food bank usage varies each month. Often we see 15-20 per month, some
repeat visitors and some first-time, one-time users.
