Innovation Foundry: Feeling Blue About Course Evaluations?
In 2018, ACU began using Blue by Explorance to administer course evaluations. This session will walk all the way from why we chose Blue for our course evaluations, Faculty roles in Blue, how our students access Blue (including through our LMS), and finally how to access and read our custom reports.

Make It Stick is one of the best books on the science of learning; in fact, the Adams Center has provided a copy to each new faculty member for several years now. Join us this Spring if you need a refresher or never got around to reading your copy.

Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and durable learning comes from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Help your students learn better by incorporating these strategies into your courses.

Gain insight into the daily rigors of D1 athletics and how to understand student athletes better and ensure their learning in our courses.

Shirin Ebadi is a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, the first Muslim woman to do so. She is a human rights lawyer and activist, defending persons against the unfair dictates of the Iran government. This book records her courageous story against the Regime government bent on destroying her and the efforts to bring justice and democracy to the people of Iran. Ebadi's book will inspire us all to fight for a better future and for our beliefs. Please read the Prologue and Ch. 1 for the first meeting. Led by Neal Coates.
