I heard this on the radio this morning, but here’s the press release from EMU: “New Partnership Forms to Ensure Future of Michigan Historical Marker Program.” Here’s the opening paragraph: Department of Natural Resources and Environment Director Rebecca Humphries today announced that Eastern Michigan University and the Michigan History Foundation have joined the Michigan Historical Commission [...] I came across a couple of articles today I thought that some folks– especially the faculty folk– might find interesting. First, via Inside Higher Ed comes this Jacksonville.com article, “UNF to fire professor accused of battery.” That’s the University of North Florida, btw. Here’s kind of a long quote: UNF Provost and Vice President Mark Workman [...] This is kind of “old news” for my field– that is, it’s probably better to teach students what plagiarism is and how to avoid it– but since this has been a topic before on EMUTalk.org and it is still “news” for other fields, I suggest taking a look at Inside Higher Ed’s “Plagiarism Prevention Without [...] I might be more interested in this than others reading EMUTalk.org because of my own scholarship and teaching, but I thought I’d go ahead and share it here anyway: from the current CHE, “5 Teaching Tips for Professors– From Video Games.” From the opening paragraphs: [Constance] Steinkuehler, an assistant professor of educational communication and technology at the [...] Two things I meant to post here earlier, but that pesky day-job kept getting in the way: First, from several different sources (including an alert EMUTalk.org reader and EMU media wonk) comes news that EMU and several other Michigan universities are participating in a program funded by the Kellogg foundation to encourage and attract math and [...] This from today’s Inside Higher Ed: “Making Teaching a Profession.” WASHINGTON — After spending much of the fall calling for major reforms to the nation’s teacher preparation programs, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan’s pleas appear to have begun to encourage action, as a major accreditor begins an effort this week aimed at bringing major changes to [...] I stumbled across this article in my feed: “No. 1 military history professor comes to UNT,” from the University of North Texas North Texas Daily. Basically, it’s about now former EMU professor Robert Citino going to the University of North Texas. Here’s a quote that stuck out to me: His conversational teaching style [...] I didn’t realize that Governor Jennifer Granholm was going to be on campus so early today, 9 am. I couldn’t have made it if I had remembered though. Did anyone go? How was it? I also discovered this morning this fine press release on the EMU web site, “An open letter to EMU [...] Things have been pretty quiet around EMU as of late, seems to me. The football team has two more chances to pick up wins (I’m guessing that it’ll be a “perfect season” in a bad way), we’re waiting for the search for the Chief of Governmental and Community Relations to begin, people are getting [...] Via one of my favorite blogs, boing boing, comes this post, “Cats with fraudulent diplomas.” Basically, even a cat (and other animals, along with people, of course) can get a degree from a diploma mill.
